^ ITA as well. I wish I could keep blaming Bush, but under the new administration we are still seeing nothing.
I was discussing this with my mother this weekend, vis a vis Vietnam.
Her viewpoint, which I found very interesting, as she was an extremely active anti-war protester then, was that it wasn't the images of the wounded and dead that motivated protesters into trying to stop the war, because the average American kept right on eating his dinner through the newscast for 10 years while it went on, it was the draft.
Her point was mostly that even when you see these things on TV or in the newspapers, it's still unreal to most, not like having it outside your front door and living with the actual horrors. She absolutely wants these images shown, but doesn't think it will help stop the war as people are so insulated and removed. The draft hammered the point home because so many people knew boys who were there.
All of God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
If I wanted the government in my womb I'd fuck a Senator
