Respect
Traffic basically stops in all directions when a funeral passes by around here. Didn't see that in Northern Virginia. Took me a while to figure it out.

Etc...


Man, you're way over thinking this.

And bringing negativity into a thread where it doesn't belong for no good reason.

And, you know what? I apologize for harshing everybody's mellow in this thread. I tend to be cynical and skeptical especially when it comes to "easy lay-ups."


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

There's the answer.

No, that's not an answer. I think it's pretty cool that the soldier displayed that respect for the dead and I'm a Bay Area native.
