Common Sense

This is an election year, so naturally most conversations will be about politics. However, everyday people have bouts with a lack of common sense just as do those vying for public offices. I know... I know; it's not as serious because everyday issues of the everyday person does not affect as many people (at least, not usually... unless you're a Hunt, a Rockefeller, a Hutton, a You-Know-Who-Else-Could-Go-Here, any of those with ties to big business and industry, whose families have been a part of that social strata for as long as America has been settled by those from across the seas).

Taking a deep breath, here: Anyway, I will be chatting about the headliners, those in the limelight here, in this little old post. Any time you want, just chime in, okay?

According to a 60 Minutes story, the Israeli Air Force daily fires missiles inside the Palestinian territory, killing hundreds of civilians. The IAF trains their pilots for these missions and, although the military brass feels it is a moral dilemma, they have no choice but to continue.

These missions take no note of the fact that women, and even children, are often among the casualities. To that they say it cannot be avoided.

Those missions are carried out in American made aircraft. Do we bear any responsibility for these masacres? Should we do something about them? What are your thoughts on these horrific acts against an entire race of people because their home is in an inconvenient location for another?

The issues are on the table. What do you say?
