I just donated a stack of boxes of hardcovers taller than myself to the San Diego Naval Base to go on shipboard libraries. Over a thousand dollars' worth, and I've done this yearly for many years.
I'll send to Walter Reed. But yes, sending us to war without making provisions to pay for it is typical. The first time we've ever gone to war without a temporary increase in levies upon those who benefit most from protection, the wealthy. Though it is tempting to say that rural boys are at the front - helping to make up for the fact that we urbanites are the chief terror targets - that would simply be churlish. Brave fellows deserve our support, even if they are betrayed at the top. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
