I was out peddling Rocks yesterday in Jacksonville Florida.... amazing
event in our lives...
I don't think any of us will ever view a Plane ride the same. So it has
changed our life even if we don't want to admit it... As a former (
recallable in the event of War ) Soldier who has flown in the Gulf war...
there is nothing pretty about this stuff. Yesterday was proof of that. No
one wins...
I think the answer yesterday that we heard was Loud and clear.... " no
terrorist nor country that supports them will be tolerated " WORKS for
me.... if you sponsor it your as guilty as the man who commits the act.
and since America has the ability extract the price of stupidity .... Ya
gets what ya ask for....
I suppose in the mean time we oughta stick to our no arguing politics'...
cause again there are no winners....
Keith ( ya this after I ramble on... )
