Left - Right - Useless…
What people need to be worried about is not how far left or right a government or political party happens to lay claim to being [or accusing the other guys to be] but how far up or down the authoritarian/anarchist[libertarian] axis they are….

A Different Take…
There’s a fair bit of outrage or back slapping and “damn near time!!” (depending on which quadrant of the political compass you inhabit) happening over aboriginal people and groups being listed in the Canadian army’s counterinsu…

I’m wondering….your ‘rules’ for joining only states that you must have a member of the family that is active in military!! I would love to join and show my support by having the linked banner on my blog’s sidebar—
But thing is: My son, who is a FORMER Marine of the United States is just that—former. My husband is retired from the government and served in the U S Navy. I have brothers who served under the U S Army, the USMC and the U S Air Force….I also have had the great life of knowing a Special Forces fellow who gave his life in the Viet Nam war —only after being home on leave and the two of us meeting before he had to call back on duty in the front!!
Now, if I could possibly join to show my support, I’d be most happy….but again, I have no active family members!!
What do you say? Is it possible?
Let me know in my blog’s comments if I’m allowed to be a member of the blogroll to show support!! Thanks for your consideration.
BSC: Of course. The point is support of our Troops. As a family member you are fully aware of what it is to have a loved one in a war zone - past or present. Thank you so much for your interest!

Let's take a look back, shall we?
