"Scenes like this are the reason all the celebrity protesters can stop worrying about public wrath and punishment. Americans have other things on their minds all right. September 11, for one. What they have on their minds, too, since the just-concluded remarkable war, is the consciousness of who they are and what this society is that it should have produced men and women of the kind who fought in that war and died in it."

Yes, we have other things on our mind--but while it might not be out of revenge per se, I think these whiney celebs will find their welcomes have pretty much worn out, except among their own kind. I think the country's values are changing--something that's been long overdue.

I hope this Memorial Day none of us will fail to remember and commemorate the many heros who preceeded this one. We owe them all a debt that can never be repaid in full.
