I have never blogged before. Today (2/24/08), I felt that this had to be the day.
This uplifting story on my Charter home page (courtesy of CNN) filled my heart with warmth.
Operation Baghdad Pups (http://baghdadpups.com/) has been saving abandoned puppies from the streets of this bewildered city. Many of the pups even make it back to the US, finding "citizenship" and a new, cozy home..., unlike the over 2 million displaced Iraqis we never hear about, or the 30,000 (as per G.W. Bush; aren't I a good American?) who found their final home prematurely in the warm Iraqi sand.
Are we completely going out of our mind? Have we lost the last residue of true compassion, humanity, mercy and good judgment? Or the Iraqis really don't deserve even as much of our compassion as their street dogs?
To answer these questions, see the link to the news blip:

- Middle age ethnic Hungarian with family, enjoying smart movies and books, a good laugh, music that agitates or soothes as per mood, Dutch and Flemish 15-17th century paintings; who is becoming increasingly uneasy about the way this World is turning. Frequently, I ponder why neither Divine Will, nor rational thinking succeeded in changing our mentality from that of the cave man.
