About Me
- Name: Snave
- Location: La Grande, Oregon, United States
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

My mom was just telling me how her dad was an air raid warden in WWII. If they were worried about an air raid, he made sure that everyone had their lights turned.
Now they lived in a very small city at the time, so the liklihood of being a target was extremely unlikely, so I asked her why they needed to worry about that in Bay City, Texas. She said that in those days the assumption was that everyone should sacrifice jointly. So there is probably something to this cartoon.
Still, I am glad they got rid of the draft, although tax dollars shouldn't go to mercenraies. If they can't get people to volunteer for a war, they probably should not be having the war.
I've always been amazed that more military folks haven't spoken up about the fact that the people making the plans haven't served (or served in combat). I just think that combat experience does a great deal to dampen the temptation to send kids off to unnecessary wars. Or at least it should.
Just glad to see Powell coming out and admitting his obvious shame over his role in the whole affair.
