In full agrement with you there honeybee.

I'm reading a book at the moment called "Forgotten Voices of the Great War". Its just a collection of short first hand accounts from people of all ages, positions and sides at the time of the first World War. It's not political, just human.

I wear a poppy in memory of all those who live through or are lost in such dreadful times, then and now.
