My small-town anti-war surprise
Vacationing near Iron River, Michigan (in da UP, eh), I was floored to see two HUGE signs outside someone's house: one that read "Bring the troops home now" and the other had a death toll in numbers at least four feet high. Sadly, the death toll was a couple weeks behind the times.

It was really heartening to see someone brave enough to do this, in a very conservative area. I wish more people would.

2. Going through small town Wisconsin last weekend...
...saw a house with lotsa antiwar signs in the yard & taped to the windows. One read, "God Forgive the USA".

4. Problem is, we DO know what we do...
...we just ain't able to put a stop to it. The collective "we" don't seem to be able to get control of the train, which is currently being driven by some nutty bastards who seem hell-bent on running it right off the rails--and doing as much damage as they can in the process.

5. Yes, those of us fighting this mess *DO* know, all too painfully
And, those who are running the show *ALSO* know....

It's the sheeple who don't seem to be catching on........

They don't seem to understand that "Patriotism" means keeping the nation on the track the founders started us on.
