We should all regard human life as this precious. This is another e-mail that I received that I wanted to share. good still does exist in the world. Included in the e-mail was a request to keep it going, for all to see, I did just that

This is really cool... I wonder how long it took to do it... An independent trucker has painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives on 9/11. The trucker 's name is John Holmgren from Shafer, Minn. The trucker has been "pulled over" numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with the truck.

I would be willing to bet this type of heartfelt display means more to the affected people than anything the government can do or say, cheers to the trucker :)

I'm sure his intentions and feelings are sincere, but I find it in poor taste, I don't know why, it's really not doing anything for me.

I find that in poor taste also. Once, I got caught behind a van that depicted aborted babies - I was disgusted. You know what they say about good intentions?

I appreciate the fact that this was done by an average citizen and there is no "sponsered by" on the truck. The baby scene is a bit much but overall it seems ok to me. Had there been an advert on the side someplace, my tune would be different. It may be in bad taste to a degree, I can see that but there's no smoking building or aftermath scenes so it coulda been a lot worse of a reminder/memorial.

Aborted babies n such cross the line, that's something of a need to know issue and is definately a case of a few words being worth a thousand pictures.
