GRANNY'S THOUGHTS

Here's a quote from a government employee who
witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly
woman and an anti-war protesterin a Metro station
in DC: 'There were protesters on the train platform
handing out pamphlets on the evils of America.
I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman
was behind me getting off the escalator and a young
(20ish) female protester offered her apamphlet,
which she politely declined. The young protester
put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a
gesture of friend ship and in a very soft voice said,
'Lady, don't you care about the children ofIraq?'
The old woman looked up at her and said,
'Honey, my father died in France during World
War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in
Vietnam. All three died so you could have the
right to stand here and bad mouth our country.
And if you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella
up your ass and pop it open!!'
