War is sold like a sport.

You know which side is which by markings on nearly identical uniforms.

Sports has a draft.

War has a draft.

Sports has cheerleaders.

War has cheerleaders

News is divided into war, war on drugs, war on cancer, war on illiteracy followed sports and the war on weather.

War is sponsored by beer

Sports is sponsored by beer

Well Said Chuckman ...

..Realism is so often censored and lost in such devastation/tradgedies ..It is hard to watch/listen/to fully grasp/accept the realities of situations such as the one that occured in Haiti .Yet it's necessary for people to comprehend the true impact of such unpredictable natural disasters/events...I often say there is no heart or tears in a virtual eye..But many hearts shed many tears while watching " The Down to Earth "coverage of this devastating event...When the virtual eye closes on Haiti ..Let's hope and pray the kind hearts give/live on...In Peace...With Power..Into prosperity and toward a new/renewed sustainable future.
