Because I hadn't heard of this thing until today, and I'm not sure if that's because I'm living under a rock or if it just hasn't been hyped a lot, here's the info on Operation Ceasefire. The basics: free concert, September 24, on the Mall, anti-war.

I've heard Mom talk about stuff like this, and I know she and people like her will think this means that those involved aren't supporting the troops and are making them feel like they're over there for nothing. Oh bull. Sweet lord, I'm sorry, I know I'm not very pretty-speaking, but hearing my mom say things like that just makes me want to . . . bite something or cry, I'm not sure which. Does she think that I don't support my sister and brother-in-law? Just because I want the BIL out of Iraq, and I don't want my sister to go?

I CAN SUPPORT OUR TROOPS WITHOUT RINGING THE WAR BELL. It's "anti-war," not "anti-soldiers."

That is all. Now I have to find something non-political to post because I'm very frustrated right now with everything. And that includes my horribleness with words when it comes to explaining my position on stuff like this. I hope the message is understandable even if the wording is clear as mud.
