Cindy's sideshow

Bumper stickers aren't philosophy, protest signs aren't dialogue, and Cindy Sheehan is not a "war critic" whose observations add to our understanding of the issue. She's a pathetic sideshow, and any "legitimate" news organization that follows her parade back to the Bush ranch over Thanksgiving should be shamed out of the business.

Let me set myself up for a lot of "flaming". I am that horrible entity known as a "liberal democrat"...I do not think Cindy Sheenan is a sideshow. I think she is a mother who lost her child and is expressing her grief in a way that she thinks will do some good. Is free expression still left in this country?? I think we all know the answer to that question..If you grew up in the 50's & 60's you know that many things we used to take for granted are gone now. For example: The recommended reading list when I was a high school junior included Rosemary's Baby
& Soul on Ice.

Parents these days would have a seizure if they were presented a reading list with those choices. I'm not saying they were the best books in the world...but at least they made you think.
