Anyone ever see "Johnny Got His Gun"?
This movie is so haunting me during this Terry Schiavo circus.
Here is a link for the movie

Your thoughts?

3. I did.
I cried all the way through it. PBS should air it again--that's where I first saw it in the 80's.

5. I can't imagine the horror
of living for so many years and not being able to speak.
