Jewelry Run to Campbellsville
Linda needed to go to Campbellsville to get some supplies to teach a jewelry class on Thursday. I said I had to finish mowing before I could go along and they could go ahead or wait a while for me to finish. I was suprised they decided to wait, but they did. We jumped into the Mustang and headed out. Thru Columbia and on to Campbellsville to stop at Wal-Mart. Stacey and I watched as Linda looked thru the safety pins and things she needed to make the 'USA' looking 'Flag' pins. She found what she was looking to get, and we started for home. Stacey and Linda wanted to eat before we came on home so we made a stop at Long John Silver's place. It's odd that they serve root beer with fish. On the way home we were listening to a MP3 CD I had made and an old song began playing. It was "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. Listening to the lines, Linda and I had the same thoughts, that they should play that now because of the way Bush is conducting the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We elaborated on the fact that today's generation doesn't even question the leadership, they seem to blindly follow and that it is still 'our' generation that is protesting the war. Cindy Sheehan is one of 'our' generation, and she is the current leader of the war protest. The only difference is, now we aren't protesting because they are killing us, we are protesting because they are getting our kids killed.
Here is a link to a Q&A with Cindy Sheehan.
