Care

I know that I haven’t mentioned Word War III lately and that is because for most Americans, it doesn’t really feel like a war. It’s sort of a war in disguise…Life goes on normally enough for us, the stock market moves up and down, there’s a sale at Mervyn’s, you can get chicken breasts for 99¢ a pound at Safeway this week, there are the same old re-runs for summer television. So what’s different about life, with or without this war? Not much; unless you actually know someone who is risking their life in Iraq or Afghanistan and most American’s don’t. They simply hang a magnetic yellow ribbon on the back of their vehicle and that tells the immediate world that they care. Mission accomplished!
