Why We Vote
The Register Star has brought together a group of people from all over the Rock River Valley to serve on our Election 2008 Voters’ Panel. These men and women are Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Green party members. Some are high school students. Some are retired. And some fall in between those two age groups. They all share this: The upcoming election is important and voters do have voices. They’ll share them in this blog.

Freakin’ Stupid and Insane

4 comments March 23rd, 2008

As I sat in church this Easter morning I heard requests for prayers for the families of those killed and injured in Iraq this past week.   My train of thoughts went on to this stupid war in which we’re engaged.  Can you believe in the year of 2008 we are still trying to resolve differences by killing each other?  Have we learned anything from history?  As children we were taught to not fight in the schoolyard…that lesson sure didn’t stick with our leaders.  We need to move beyond talking about the war in polite and respectful language and call it what it really is…Freakin’ Stupid and Insane.
