ORIGINAL: MaxsBoy I admit I truly envy those of you who can feel such strong emotion over such a thing. When I heard my reaction was basically to shrug my shoulders and think "meh". I fear I've become so jaded and cynical that it would take a miracle to shake me out of it. I'm a hard, bitter person. Sometimes I wonder if I feel at all, or if I've just convinced myself that I do. I admit that we are all different, Fox, so we come at things from different histories. I admit that I am from a hardcore military family, with active duty members currently serving. I have family members who work for the DOD. I almost joined the service during my junior year of college. Thing 2 is planning to join the Marines or the Army after high school. I admit that I believe that there are certain things that we all feel strongly about, and they aren't always the same for each of us. (You had very strong feelings about the beating in the McDonalds near you, so I think you do feel. Sometimes we get worn out, and feeling anything seems like a chore.) I feel very strongly about things of a military/patriotic nature. It's how I'm wired, and it's how I have chosen to view the world I live in. I refuse to be a non-participant in my life, void of feelings and emotions, like Eeyore. (my Manny and I used to call the non-emotive pediatrician we had Dr. Eeyore, and the one who was all over the place, Dr. Tigger) I was there for a brief time in my life, and I vowed to leave the gloomy, blue donkey behind me. *hugs*
