War, what is it good for? absolutely nothing!

Do you agree or disagree with Aeschylus' statement that "in war, truth is the first casualty"? How does his statement relate to the issue of censorship?
I agree.. I wouldn't go as far as to say that if people saw the true tragedy of war, war would cease to exist, and the reason for this is people already know how ugly war is. That is why it is called war. Maybe people in society rationalize things so much so that they think war is all flowers and hugs. But for me and most people I know, we know how traumatic and terrible war is. People don't want to see it. I don't think these photos should be shown on national television because it forces people to see it when they don't want to. But I also don't think it should be censored. I feel that there should be websites with images such as these so people who want to view them can and people who don't, don't have to. Also the families of the deceased in the photos smust give permission for the world to see. Otherwise it is unethical.

co-worker troubles..

If you could convince one person to change his or her mind about something, whom would you choose and what would you try to convince that person to see differently?

I think I would convince a woman at my work to leave her alcoholic, abusive husband. He was fired from our company for coming to work drunk all the time and stealing. He then proceeded to live off her measly income for a year and a half, he finally just got a job and she is so proud! (and about to lose her home). I have tried and tried to tell her this situation is hurting her and her son. She "feels bad" because he has a "problem" it's so ridiculous I don't even want to talk to her anymore you know? I feel bad but I have enough troubles of my own to listen to her broken record of a life she has the power to change. Sorry if I sound bitter instead of caring, but this has gone on too long..

Fun blog woo!
