Peace is free???
Peace is free, he asks again? So, on just what planet does the jack-ass who said this reside? Sounds like somebody needs to take a long walk through the cemeteries in Flanders, Tuscany, Hong Kong, or any of the far too many places far too many fighting men heard the Last Post.
I'd be really curious to see where this money from white poppies goes. Wonder if the international anti-gun tycoon George Soros (think that's right) is in the mix.
Yesterday our campus minister (I teach in an all-girls Catholic high school) started our day with a Veteran's Day homily. She got it right and I told her so afterwards. I am so brassed off at our media for conflating Memorial Day and Veterans Day, then following their "news" piece with a commercial for a Veterans Day sale at Sears, Penneys, or wherever. I guess y'all in the Snowy North get the same thing only for the Bay stores . . .
My grandmother always called it Armistice Day, so I learned about it early.
Ok, I'll go off somewhere quite to fume a little.
