Another Public Service Announcement...??

Normally I would think this is the wrong day for this, but it's the right week and, if I wait any longer, it will be the wrong week and the wrong day!

So:

I was just looking at a blog by Koffla in [blog Koffla] in which he created his own 'avatar bitstrip' [post 3273613], one that commented on the amount of veterans lost each day to suicide; and I just had to not only mention this, but hope that others see it and realize and create enough noise that someone might take notice.

It may be a lot to ask for but one can only hope.

Koffla did his part bringing it to our attention, I'm trying to add my bit, and maybe if enough try to spread this information how far can we hope to go.

Stranger things have happened!

I try not to get too serious in the things I post but, as I noted on his blog:

...I know this must have been mentioned a million x 1000 times already, maybe even before I was born, but isn't it a strange society where you are forced to leave your job and go off to war (to defend a country where the politicians who started the war stash their off in safety so they don't have to go rub shoulders alongside the poor schmuck who had no choice), and when you return home there is no job waiting for you, no infrastructure in place to rehabilitate you from the ravages of war, and nobody who even cares enough to say: "Without these people we would be crushed under the boots of those who would deprive us of our hard-earned freedom? Let corporate America come together and do something!"

I think they forget that it is thanks to these people that they are able to operate in the type of market system that they are in, and it's thanks to these people that they are able to reap the profits that they do.

I read that the DOW hit a high of 16000 recently?

I had read bits here and there but I was still caught by surprise when I read Koffla's post. It is a sad situation.
