Dear Mr. President:

You need to change your focal length
your aperature, your focus, your POV;
for the World is not your personal playground,
and Manifest Destiny behavior
is not just passe,
it is just plain suicide
and too many have already died.
Please, change your lenses,
before another mother cries
needlessly.

You're a brave soul, Kacy -- I like the analogy!

..."and while you're at it... why don't you take a nice, long 'DRIVE' back to school and unlearn all those lessons you skipped and tests you failed..."

I concur, Kacy -- amen.

(big angel hugs) The more absurd thing is, though he's not far-sighted, he's not even within definition of short-sighted either, it seems he can only see within his three feet of personal space! (sad sigh) Oh right, I know why he can't see, he has $$ as eyes! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I wish, before they'd make decission, they'd first think of the repercussion they might cause...you know, they are pretty brasin soldiers under the people's employment...if you ask me....but then...whose asking.

Thank you for your brave words.
