Virginia vs. Iraq

[lizziebith]

Grief? That's for my beloved oldest aunt who is quickly succumbing to a rare cancer. For strangers in my country and abroad, who are dying in large numbers and small, I have: a diffuse sadness, some horror, and a little shame that I can't care more. I can live with it though, and nobody can insist I grieve more. At least nobody who expects actual results from said insistence.
