Points to Ponder

Cindy Sheehan is on a road that leads to the president's ranch. All she wants to know is why her son had to die in Iraq. Mr. Bush, who is busy clearing brush with a chainsaw, is unwilling to meet with Mrs. Sheehan. Is he afraid to talk with a mother of a young man who died for his war in Iraq? If we were in her shoes, wouldn't we want answers?

With school starting soon, I wonder if the military recruiters will be back at work in the high schools? The recruiters come in at lunch, sit with students, talk, gather information, and pass out pencils and other materials. Are parents aware that this recruiting is going on in schools? Are parents comfortable with these activities? I suggest you call your local high school and ask if recruiters are permitted on school grounds. Let the school administration know how you feel about this.
