I love this and I love your user pic for this. powerful. ~ I'm on the pacifist social worker human side of this issue. Not popular in many circles, but in my heart, it's right. (perhaps left, but right.)
My first thought, until I looked a little further down, was Brave mama, letting her ride up there armed with ice cream.
Then the picture registered on me, and it wasn't just cute anymore, and I thought, Ice cream in her hair is the least of this woman's worries. If she and I had nothing more to worry about for our children than ice cream in our hair, we'd be in clover.
I am so glad you were there today. I didn't get out, except to the vet's. If this happens again..I'll be there. I learned a few things in Tucson. The next door construction crew who started playing Mariachi music at 6 AM, I thought I was destined to hate. But the day after 9-11, they all came to work wearing red white and blue bandana sweatbands. Then there was the Hispanic moving agent with Veteran credentials from Vietnam who encouraged his son to join the military. I don't know what more we want from citizens. The Mexicans look great to me. And I know a bit about that desert stretch where they die crossing. I believe it was an Episcopalian group that set up water stations.
