Families Begin Funerals for Ohio Marines

everybody gets something out of it, first of all the media.

what is honored in fact is the essence of morality itself : namely you are called on and you go.

calling on you is what makes you, you, by being for the first time addressed.

that's why it's the origin of morality.

why do we always have the poor? So we are not damned. We are called on.

dying when you are called on and go is something for friends and family, like dying everywhere, not for the media, except that it's entertainment and can be sold.

those who go to iraq are heroes whether they die or not; and we honor being called and going because we recognize it in ourselves.

confusing it by mixing it up serves various interests, some of them by way of entertainment for soap opera women.

that serves to make what is important out of reach except to middlemen with their own purposes.


As the funeral procession later wound its way to Sunset Cemetery, people stood by the road in salute to the fallen Marine. An elderly woman waved an American flag. A young boy clutched a sign reading "Goodbye to a hero."
