To honor the deaths of innocent children at the hands of soldiers "fighting for their motherland, fatherland, or homeland?"
The innocent Vietnamese children burned to death with Napalm™? The innocent Guatemalan children killed by death squads? The innocent Iraqi children killed by two wars waged for cheap oil? The innocent child soldiers dying every day fighting other people's wars? The innocent children killed by drug cartels? The innocent children killed in mines? The innocent children killed BY mines? The innocent children killed in factories? The innocent children killed in mass shootings in schools?
Remember, the profits of the arms trade, the drug trade, the sex slave trade, the oil trade, and the global economy isn't free. It is paid for by the blood of innocent children every minute of every day.
Hey, maybe we could have a parade for all the children "humanity" didn't manage to murder?
I had pondered posting pictures of the victims
The real pictures.
The ones that show the slaughter.
The ones that upset people.
People get upset when you show them pictures of dead children.
Pictures of dead children are disrespectful to the children and their families.
Yet, slaughtering them in the first place somehow isn't as upsetting or disrespectful as showing pictures of the slaughter's aftermath.
Yes, my faith in humanity is pretty much gone at this point.
