If someone doesn't *get it* by now they won't get it ever. <BR/><BR/>What you are asking people to give up to help the clueless *get it* is too high a price to pay.BostonMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298341600851300309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10193821.post-23689081947514173472009-02-23T16:39:00.000-05:002009-02-23T16:39:00.000-05:00"Dover is ours" is just the reason we should lift ..."Dover is ours" is just the reason we should lift the photo ban.<BR/><BR/>The photos from Dover I have seen are poignant and a reminder of loss, and the cost of war.<BR/><BR/>To quote an anon Marine: "America isn't at war, the USMC is at war. America is at the mall".<BR/><BR/>By keeping those images in the public eye, it is a necessary and powerful communication.<BR/><BR/>Dover belongs to ALL Americans.<BR/><BR/>The military needs to take care that we don't become some closed-off mini-society.
