My friend, fellow blogger, and Poet on Peace, Sherry Chandler, is “on the soapbox” today.  She makes some poignant obsevations concerning the role of racism in our collective American mindset in an entry entitled, “JonBenet Ramsey and Abeer al-Janabi.”

She also links to a troubling entry on Daily Kos concerning women who have died in the military in Iraq.  See the lovely smiles of these beautiful dead girls here.
