- When the tide turns in the other direction (a Constitutional direction), I hope it drowns those in its path. Yes, majicdot, I hear you...loud and clear. If you can't legislate, you educate.

- This Photo is definitely worth a few thousand words. I've got mixed feelings on this veteran's day. The US was a bit late entering WWII and although our entry obviously won the war on all fronts and was really the last truly 'just' war, I can't help but wonder about things such as an earlier entry would have saved lives and if Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear detonations were necessary (why not explode the device offshore for a demonstration). In any case we haven't been isolationist since (quite the opposite) and with the context of Pakistan, it's definitely time for some deep reflection this veterans day to make sure all of our fallen soldiers from all of our wars did not die in vain.

- I guess the rich, privileged, draft dodging Yale and Harvard boys have had enough of all the "free speech garbage" , I guess because people are beginning to wake up to who the real enemies are. Look at the men being arrested - men who fought and sacrificed in a war, unlike the Yale/Harvard boys who did everything they could to avoid active duty. Ironically now the ones who were used by the good ole rich boys are now the ones being arrested for protesting what we all should be protesting. Oh and Happy Veteran's Day.....

Sennott Globe Staff / November 12, 2007 More than a dozen members of an antiwar veterans group were arrested yesterday as they protested the exclusion of their message from Boston's Veterans Day parade. Members of Veterans for Peace lined up in front of a podium at City Hall Plaza holding antiwar placards, as color guards from Massachusetts military units and JROTC bands from across the state filed into Government Center for a ceremony, sponsored by the American Legion, to honor veterans after the parade. Some protesters wore gags, which they later said symbolized the fact that, while they were permitted to march in the parade, they were prevented from carrying signs opposing the war in Iraq. "We were exercising our First Amendment rights," said Winston Warfield of Dorchester, a member of the group. "The First Amendment protects free speech, even when you don't agree with what's being said." When Boston police asked the demonstrators to move from the front of the podium so that the Veterans Day services could continue, they refused. As the Boston Firemen's Band played The Marine Hymn, several protesters were placed in plastic handcuffs and led away. "Our free speech and civil rights are being abridged here," said Nate Goldschlag, a Vietnam-era veteran who was among those standing in front of the podium. "We are veterans, too, and we should be allowed to express our opposition to this war."
