Have we reached the level where asking questions that naturally arise from a photograph is prohibited?
That's a decision for you to make. My opinion is that we're even beyond the point of beating a dead horse. And frankly, we should have been rallying around his safety, not his missing helmet.
I did something this morning as an act of conscience. I think the responses here have some of the most scurrilous and puerile I have ever read. The picture is of a Marine almost losing his life and the responses here are stunningly half baked.
I wanted to make statement clearly stating my position, and the seriousness in which I feel this man has been sullied.
But how do you make a protest in a forum? And I have to be honest here, using old biker slang, there are folks here I wouldn't drop water with.
Obviously, I like to write. I enjoy a debate, and I have friends here.
So this morning I wrote a sincere PM to Pax and
asked her to disconnect my TFL account for a month or so.
A protest of silence. When old vets did an about face and turned their backs on Clinton, they were not belligerent or insulting. Their message was clear.
And so I turn my back on you few who threw mud on a Marine.
