Well, Grand-daughter, Kelly, says she reads my blogs but cannot understand them. Have trouble myself. Realize that they're very political and not in line with Kelly's thinking even if she could understand them. She was raixsed a Democrat, as was I, though I was unaware of it, until much later in life, when I saw the light and abandoned the party of the donkey. Evidently, Kelly's mother came from a very active and political family of Democrats and her views became her daughter's views. Her dad describes himself as a Democrat, but I suspect that he is more conservative than liberal, tho not necessarily a Republican. I think perhaps he and I are both candidates for the Constitutional Party, wherever they may be. The Libertarians are a little too far out for me. It's evident the Repuiblicans have strayed far from the conservative path and there are questions to be asked and answered concerning the war in Iraq. There's no doubt that something has kept another terrorist attack on the US in abeyance and it could well be the fact that we're keeping them well occupied in Iraq and Afghanistan, but even then we must weigh the equation of how many military deaths balance the number of American civilian deaths that never happened because the terrorists were kept out of the country. Think of the military as the external policemen of the nation, who put their lives on the line on a daily basis to keep the rest of us safe and secure. It's their job and they do it well and we should all know this and let them know that we know it and how much we appreciate it .More on this another day.

Well, you're right about many things on here, like I cannot understand what you're saying. HA! How many deaths does it take to keep our country safe? There is no way to know if it really prevented terrorists attacks on our country or not. Not only is it sad the men and women that are killed in the war, but what about all the people left in the VA homes and hospitals injured for life? That is a real tragedy that people forget about. After spending time at the VA home in Grand Rapids, I can't image the grief these people feel. Spending the rest of your life like they do is more of a sacrifice for our country than any person should have to live through.
I found a publication yesterday about nonsmoking restaurants in Lebanon. Did you know if you sit in restaurant that has a smoking and nonsmoking section for 2 hours and you are in the nonsmoking section, it's like smoking 1 cigarette. Hmmmm....
