Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Maddy Z. Bordallo's introducing another reparations bill....another stick with salt at the end of it to stir up the old wounds of the war that ended 60 years ago.........those that still live will relive the tragedy, their children that think they should be paid for their injuries will grind their teeth and whine and complain about the horrible treatment and on and on and on...this time around, the bill's called the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act, the next step toward bringing justice to those who endured brutal enemy occupation in Guam during WWII........
Even if the bill passes and the President signs the bill into law...the people that have survived the war will long be dead.....they'll never get the money.......I truly think it's time to lick the wounds, be happy that we're alive, that we have an American flag that flies above us and that when we have Acts of God damages we have the help of Uncle Sam(FEMA) and let the endless whining and remembering go.
The war reparations is like an uncollectable receivable......sometimes you just have to write it off........it's time we wrote it off, IMHO, it's time we got on with our lives........
