Just because they were flying in a little private plane doesn't mean it was THEIR private plane. You can rent them for about the same as you can rent a boat at the lake. Like when you hear the term "their plane crashed" it doesn't necessarily mean they owned United Airlines....OK? Why you nutcases are so quick to criticize and look for the negative side of things, I will never know....Would sure hate to be married to you]]>Sep 12th 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/

And really?? What does her story have to do with the troops overseas? While I agree with you that the military gets the short end of the stick (especially the families supporting the one serving. I have been on both sides having served and been married to someone who also served) I don't think that needed to be brought up in converstaion when you weren't willing to really READ the story to begin with. ]]>Sep 12th 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/
There is an element of truth in what you say,
& you have a right to your divergent feelings & opinions.
Doctors weigh in who should get an organ and who is less deserving. So your comparison and anger re who's more "deserving" is not so far fetched. Your reference to Vets not eliciting the same support is shared in a recent story covering returning Vets being denied treatment and care by the country they've served...which also angers me in light of this response. Although the response to this family is heartwarming. Check out the story about the Vets in "THE NATION" by a freelance journalist: http://www.joshuakors.com/

If those bloggers think its OK to solicit our money and empathy ...they should be tolerant of soliciting unwanted thoughts and opinions that will naturally follow. Honestly, I don't know why TWO young parents with FOUR babies would thing of taking such a HUGE risk and get on a little plane (with the high % of crashes that happen in those!) Even on commercial flights, some parents fly separately to play the odds. This was ODD behavior of those young parents! And in light of the indifference faced by our returning Iraq Veterans who served our country only to receive a [double] burn...Is it any wonder such a situation would make anyone steaming mad???

When comparing the differences between each situation, of those that serve, and those that brought it on themselves...both are tragic nevertheless, and judgment and correctiveness aside, human suffering is tragic and elicits compassion and humanity (except for really EVIL people like the Hitlers and Bin Ladens of the world...every tragic consequence needs First Aid first, --whereever and whenever or from whoever will give it) ]]>Sep 12th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 12:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 2:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 7:26AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/10/readers-unite-to-aid-injured-blogger-with-online-auctions/Sep 12th 2008 7:27AM
