I turned off the TV, not wanting to see the long updated list of men who died in Vietnam today. Thanks to the commonality of TV across America, we could see just what is happening and, a list of the dead. I use to keep up with the list, wanting to see if any of my friends will come home, but then I saw that many of them won't. I began thinking how many other families won't get to see their friends and family, so I stopped. One can only handle so much death. It may not be happening in front of me, but I can see it's aftermath all around me. There was huge protest to the war. Hundreds of people, even thousands, gathered in cities with signs in hands, begging for an end. "Make love. Not war." I often see. I'm at the point of not caring anymore.
