You know, Mike Trivisonno today (dj on Cleveland's WTAM 1100AM), talked about this today and said something that truly made sense.

How much do we pay the miltary member's family who are over there giving their lives?

We're paying mostly rich white people's relatives off for losing a loved one who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. AND SOME OF THE WTC FAMILIES ARE TELLING THE GOVERNMENT IT ISN'T ENOUGH????????

Meanwhile, we have men and women dying in Iraq (politics and feelings about the war aside, they are risking life and limb to service this great country) and their families get a coffin with a flag and maybe the $50,000 life insurance policy.

I know the families from the OKC bombing got a little something, (like $150,000), does anyone know if the Pentagon families or families of the people on the planes got anything? And how did this great government decide that those in the WTC were worth at least 10x those in OKC?

This isn't a ploitical issue and should not be, as I remember Bush AND Lady Ice Queen Clinton and others from BOTH parties stood together on this.

Sad. All I can say is, if you find it as pathetic as I do please write your congressman an e-mail, snail mail or call his office.

Paying for civilian tragedies and doing nothing for the ones in harm's way...... what a country at times.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
