Why I care------

"Any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee."
------John Donne

I post this in response to those now asking "Why should we get involved with Ukraine? Why should we care?"

If the above verse is considered "naive" or "maudlin" I will gladly wear those labels. I'm a sucker for real, down-to-earth, honest words spoken---or written---with passion.
