Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, it seems no one reads my journals but me. ^.^ That's just fine with me since I use them to speak my mind anyways. I've been so happy since last week. Like being on a constant high or something, and if you knew me you probably would understand why I would feel this way. But, the world is not such a nice place. I heard that there were some people being disrespectful to the soldiers. But not just them, they were disrespectful to America. They burned good Ol' Glory right on a news camera, and chanted hateful things to the soldiers. How can this happen in America? I can understand using your right to free speech, but it's the soldiers blood that pay for that right. Every offensive thing directed at the soldiers about the war, if they are there willingly or not, is a smudge against what the soldiers stand for. It doesn't matter if you believe in the war or not, or if you are mad that we have to pay the price; They are giving themselves so that the people of Iraq, our fellow human beings, have the same rights we have. You may not like this, or think we should pay that price, but that's what the cost of being the best damned country in the world is. So show some sympathy for those who believe everyone should be free. Well, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this one. Bye. ^.^
