" I don't think we've become blase rather realistic that when going to war, lives will be lost.
Let us not forget 9-11 and the reason we are fighting. How many innocent lives were lost in the world trade center? Why?
Our military accepts the risks when they sign up. We acknowledge the risk but cry when we read about the death toll. This is a shame, but a fact!
May God bless our military for without you, our Country would not be free and we know your sacrifices are many. Land of the free and home of the BRAVE.
And as for the Nicole Parra story, she leaves a lot to be desired (she tends to be a little self-serving to me). but again we are free to vote for whom we want. This is America!

" Did you know your child's classmates is infested with Lice?
I have a 9 year-old daughter, who has had lice infestation in kindergarten, second grade and just recently now in fourth grade. This time was pretty bad, and like always it has happened in the months of Ocotber or November. I make a point to immediately notify the school, and any person, family or friend that has been around my daughter. I have been outraged by the Hanford School District policy on lice. Policy: The nurse will check other calssmates hair and the infested child's siblings, hopefuly with a day or two, depending if there is a nurse around. Problem: There is no letter sent to parents advising them that there ia a child in class with lice, there is no special clean up.
My child has been back to school for over two weeks. She nor her brother has been checked for head lice.Even after I called and voiced my complaints on how it has been handled in the past. My child currently attends MLK and this is the policy that was relayed to me by the head of operations. "

" Mr. Leach, thank you for your service to our country. In regards to your letter, I must point out that you mention generalities and no specifics to support your position; What constituted effective legislation in your mind? What issues, in your opinion, matter to us in the central valley where her position is superior to that of her opponent? For sake of discussion, how about her support for granting illegal aliens driver's licenses and her opponents opposition to that?
Yes sir, this election matters. "

" Dear Ricky Martin, I agree with your statements that the deaths of the US soldiers deserve the same amount of attention as the article concerning the deaths of the Iraqi soldiers. The loss of any life, be it American or Iraqi, is tragic and deserves to be given the same amount of attention. I do not think that we have become blasé regarding the deaths of American soldiers, but rather, we are ashamed, knowing that their deaths were preventable and unnecessary. There is no link between the events of September 11th and the war in Iraq. I think most Americans realize this and are greatly ashamed of the fact that we continue to send our troops to an unjust war to kill and be killed. We don't like to be reminded of our mistakes, hence the small print and the "few barely noticeable lines" in the newspaper. "

" Mr. Tucker, you do not have the general license to say "we are ashamed" or speak for "most Americans" with any credibility. The point of the letter was specifically on reverential respect for our servicemembers and not a springboard for your already well known political beliefs... "
