In regards to algore's concert, I am reminded of the big Earth Day celebration they had in Sanfrancisco a number of years ago. It was to mark the anniversary of this silly day.
The place the event was held was littered with trash. The pictures were priceless.
What's even more sad is that they want to remind school children how important this day is, but do nothing to remind them about Memorial Day. (We now do at our District!)
By taking care of your own first, strangers don't have to..government doesn't have to.
I can remember my Gramp having 3 jobs to support his own family as well as his parents..to some extent. He never whined..never complained. He thought it was his duty. BUT, when a needy person came to the door, Gram wrapped up sandwiches and Gramp cut his pork chop in half to share.
AND that's what makes America GREAT!
