I try to avoid the subjects of religion and politics in my writing, prefering to keep my opinions to myself, but you have managed to express exactly what I'm thinking. Thanks for this.

Great write Josie, I hate it when I have to answer questions like that. Makes me feel they WANT me to tell them what to do, and I cant even though I want to.

I am on strike because of the war - I have vowed not to write any good poetry until this whole war thing blows over.

I have mixed emotions about it too. I want Bush to hurry up and catch Osama and then get it over with in Iraq and let's get back to work.

Getting all sides of the issue is important. There are enough sheep marching for every cause under the sun. Having a social conscience should be for thinking person, but an informed social conscience is a must.
That qualifying word there is 'thinking'.
Kudos. You are a wise parent.

A wonderful write, and advice, one must choose, and learn. she is a young wise lass, to come to you for her advice.
I worry myself, I have a son in the Military,
he was there in desert storm, now a decade after he has to return, and I to pray for his safe return, and suffer the pains of war, but it was his decision
