Today is Veterans Day. I watch all the pomp and circumstance, and never tire of listening to the National Anthem. For many of us of another generation, we have an inbred pride relating to this country, and the Principles of Freedom upon which it was founded.
Two particularly interesting events in the past week: One was the execution of J. Allen Muhammad, the 48-year old Washington sniper who went on a gun-shooting rampage in 2002 and killed ten people, randomly, and wounded several others. As I understand it, he was ex-military, and was executed by lethal injection in a Virginia prison.
