I can't believe I started this thing in May, but yet have even entered a 2nd post.
Sometimes I'm at a loss for words, I guess.
So I just donated 5 bucks to the UFC's fight for the troops cause. Supporting the troops doesn't have to mean supporting the conflicts. I think it was Chomsky who said that there is nothing wrong with just wanting nobody to get hurt. That sounds supportive to me. I guess the money goes to the Intrepid Brain Trauma foundation, for soldiers who suffer from brain injuries while answering the call. It's pretty tragic.
whether or not the cause is right or wrong, I think another real tragedy is that there even has to be fundraisers for injured soldiers. You'd think that the institutions that govern this country would take responsibility for them. The men and women who are willing to lay it all down deserve that from our government. I don't mind giving up 5 bucks for them once in a while, though.
Hopefully the UFC will keep on putting on these free fight nights!
