I AM SOOOOOOOOOO MAD!!!

hey, all.

as a ritual, every friday i look at 'the week in pictures' on msnbc's website. so i'm clicking through there this morning, and i come across a black screen with the warning that the next image is not suitable for...blah blah blah. so i click on it to view it...its a US soldier. a dead US soldier, lying in a pool of his own blood. what on earth could have posessed those people to post such a picture, for his family and his friends to see? on so many different levels, i am angry. that was somebody's son...someone's baby. someone's love. so...i promptly hit the 'email us' button, and sent them a piece of my mind, via the internet. haven't heard back from them...i guess we'll see what happens. i'm just a little peon out here ... they probably won't even read it. but i feel better now that i've said something. it just isn't right.

do me a favor? if you're out in public and happen to come across a man or woman in uniform, be it military service or civil service, shake his or her hand and say 'thank you'. they deserve it.

have a good weekend.
