NPR was running a very interesting segment this morning on Vietnam. They interviewed one man in particular, who was a survivor of the My Lai massacre. One thing he said that I found powerful was he said “I don’t hate Americans, just the Americans that did this.” I would certainly understand if he hated all …
… and that’s what I like about the south
I never put pictures up here, so I figured I’d just hit you up with a bunch at the same time. Here’ s a few more pictures that I got from my sis that I found quite humorous as well. Human stupidity knows no bounds.
