I'll have to tell her about your post--she'll love it. lol <br /><br />I'm wondering if Mynx is right, and the governor thought it was the popular thing to do? I hope that's not the case. Maybe he did it because he did so before and felt he shouldn't fail to do the same for a NJ native??? I don't know. <br /><br />One The Frisky Virginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782384806427143829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-86685251108180351652012-02-19T21:31:46.763-06:002012-02-19T21:31:46.763-06:00YRJ- Thank you for your comment!

I see it as a state freedom or states rights issue. They can give whatever honors they wish to bestow to whomever they want. Even if our leadership doesn't do things perfectly at least they can still do it freely- for a little while longer anyway.

One person's death will make the news, but another won't. Neither are famous. Just one seems more dramatic or "important" somehow.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.com
