“I tend to be more concerned with OUR children”? What kind of a thing is that to say? I do hope you’re not trying to say American children have lives somehow more valuable than the Iraq children who are forcefully exposed to violence on a daily basis. No one is saying that we shouldn’t care about American children in need. Who said that? No one is going to say or even think that. Giving attention, concern and funds to all children in need does not mean YOUR children will get any less.

Very attractive cartoon. I tend to be more concerned with OUR children. If you haven’t donated to a charity that provides food or relief to American children this year, don’t pretend that you care about anyone’s children. GO DONATE!

Another of “ole bullshits” legacies…....

Think or what it is like to “walk in the shoes” of the children caught up in all the wars and conflicts.
         
              Free Shoes
              By Sharon Olds

The pairs of shoes stand in rows,
polished and jet, like coffins for small pets,
lined with off-white.  Evacuated children
sit in rows eyeing the pairs,
child after child after child, no parents
anywhere near.  When it’s their turn,
they get a pair of new shoes
and the old ones are taken away.

Of course it is kind of the nice people
to give them the shoes.  Of course it is better
to be here in the country, not there where the  
buildings
explode and hurl down pieces of children.
Of course, of course.  This life that has been
given them like a task!  This life this
black bright narrow unbroken-in shoe.

And please let’s not forget the children of Gaza whom we are supposed to pretend do not exist.  People may now be starving to death in Gaza because of the Isreali seige.  This is a crime against humanity and both Bush and Obama are silent.

I’m not in the mood for celebrating either.

Superb as ever, Mr. Fish.

Wow! Mr.Fish, already one of the best cartoonist
out there, just keeps gettign better and better.
