Oh, don't get me started. And that is a conservative estimate... I've never felt so discouraged and shamed by my country in my life. Your submission and my submission are all about what humans have done to other humans. Sometimes I think the world would be a better place without us.

it is interesting how so many people associate red with grief, eh? it is pretty amazing that in the death tolls on the news, they don't really talk about all of the civilians that have been killed or wounded badly or even made homeless...
