The drug laws were lax and you could live both comfortably and cheaply if you were brave enough to travel on a psycho-narcotic spiritual quest. I didn't go.. too young, too female, too blond. Knew of people who never came back.<BR/><BR/>Now all that has gone. What the Russians didn't destroy we have made every effort to grind further into the dust. Our leaders know nothing.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry young Juan is having to go there now rather than having had the opportunity to go there then when there were fountains, libraries, museums and gardens. I too hope he comes home soon with the bottle opener intact.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921957991631086138.post-33903430429342052292008-08-18T19:52:00.000-05:002008-08-18T19:52:00.000-05:00I'll keep a good thought for Juan.

Bub was at their house and I guess the big guys were picking on him, so he left,just walked out, came over to my house and just told me that the guys were being 'mean' so he decided to come over "hang out" with me. He was SEVEN.

It was from a mom of one of two recent fallen soldiers from out town. The mother or father (can't remember) of one of the soldiers said, "Our <I>country</I> is not at war, no one was told to sacrifice, there is no draft, the war is barely mentioned. It's our military <I>soldiers</I> and their families who are at war."<BR/><BR/>I'll keep Juan in my prayers, I promise.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921957991631086138.post-69850245422110119112008-08-18T17:20:00.000-05:002008-08-18T17:20:00.000-05:00And with a hurricane hitting the Keys, and a dam b...And with a hurricane hitting the Keys, and a dam breaking near the Grand Canyon, where is our National Guard? Certainly not dealing with emergencies at home. The Phil Ochs song is heartbreaking - and I feel your sadness. I hope Juan comes home unscathed, and soon.
