Memorial Day - to me, one of the most significant weekends in my life, since my son was conceived on or about Memorial Day weekend in 2007 (sorry for TMI, but I feel it's a powerful anniversary to keep in mind).
BUT - the little gems around the net about how Americans should feel this day keenly this year for the sake of all those HEROES OVER THERE FIGHTING AND DYING FOR *OUR FREEDOM* makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
Sorry to be political, but really? Freedom in North America depends on this war, does it? Honestly?
Since when did illegal actions fought over misinformation, grudges and the free access to pipelines constitute *OUR FREEDOM*?
Oh, right - our freedom to drive SUVs.
OK, carry on - enjoy the fact that another Iraqi baby was likely just melted to death by spent uranium in the time it took me to type this post, and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
sigh.
