Oh, dear, you can't throw around perspective too much here in the states...
This nation that has a whole lot of the "me first, last and always" type people...do NOT like their little problems to be discounted by putting them in "perspective", doncha now!
LOL
Nothing about Sheehan is pretty.

I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but I find that woman's voice so annoying, that even if I agreed with every word she said it would drive me to the rubber room.
Hey Wolf, yesterday on the bus a gal in a motorized
wheelchair had a basket in front with a sweet dog,
his paws draped over the rim.
The dog had on a visor hat and sun glasses and thought
he was hot stuff.
On my way back to the office from lunch today, I happened to hear a stunning song by Trace Adkins called "Arlington." I'm not one to blubber easily at songs or movies, but this one really got to me. He has a wonderful, deep, resonant voice which combines beautifully with this song. Too bad you can't hear it right now, but here's the lyrics:
Arlington
by Trace Adkins
written by Jeremy Spillman and Dave Turnbull
From "Songs About Me", © 2005, Capitol Records.I never thought that this is where I'd settle down.
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown.
They gave me this plot of land,
Me and some other men, for a job well done.
There's a big White House sits on a hill just up the road.
The man inside, he cried the day they brought me home.
They folded up a flag and told my Mom and Dad:
"We're proud of your son."And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property.
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company.
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done.
I can rest in peace;
I'm one of the chosen ones:
I made it to Arlington.I remember Daddy brought me here when I was eight.
We searched all day to find out where my grand-dad lay.
And when we finally found that cross,
He said: "Son, this is what it cost to keep us free."Now here I am, a thousand stones away from him.
He recognized me on the first day I came in.
And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels,
And saluted me.
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property.
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company.
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done.
I can rest in peace;
I'm one of the chosen ones:
I made it to Arlington.
And everytime I hear twenty-one guns,
I know they brought another hero home to us.And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property.
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company.
We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done.
We can rest in peace;
'Cause we are the chosen ones:
We made it to Arlington.Yeah, dust to dust,
Don't cry for us:
We made it to Arlington.
Oh no! He's just trying to keep his brains from leaking out.
LOVE that song!
Pop! Sizzle!
I've heard it a couple of times in the last week. It really makes me tear up...a beautiful song.
Oh, my---I haven't heard the song, but the lyrics are beautiful and sad.
Like termites, they appear in swarms.
I've never heard the song, but the lyrics alone are powerful. Thank you for posting them.
I think we need some troll stuffing, and perhaps an apple in his mouth. mmmmmm roasted troll on a spit!

They put a marquee up in the garden, the MD's wife is involved with the scouts that own the marque
Arlington
by Trace Adkins
That is a heavy duty song. Thanks for posting the words.
So THAT'S what they look like. Hmmmm...it's got Kennedy's nose, Schumer's eyes, Boxer's hair, KKK Byrd's forehead, and Specter's ears.
