It’s pretty sad…
When you feel you need to post your political statement on the side of a trashcan in downtown Philly.
I was going to make a comment about a sign I saw on a trashcan at 16th & JFK in Philly that pointed out the number of Americans killed in Afghanistan and Iraq now surpasses those who died on 9-11, when I realized the futility of the sign itself.
The person who placed the sign obviously thought they were doing a good thing. However did they honestly believe they would change hearts and minds by placing their message on a trash can? Perhaps they thought that somehow – by magic perhaps – their message would end the wars and usher in world peace. Such magical thinking is commonplace with the anti-war crowd, who tend to forget that America was not at war in either Afghanistan or Iraq when al Qaeda commandeered 4 airliners and killed 3,000.
