I haven't seen the movie, for the same reason that Happynow describes. My heart is too fragile anymore. I can't seem to watch real things of this magnitude without carrying it around for days, I worry about the world and the future of our country much more than I used to.

When I read the comments I am so proud to live among you. So glad that this place is peopled with the kind of people I grew up with and admire.

I want always to believe in heros and I want always to think that this country will prevail against it's enemies.

I hope and pray that things change and that patriotism again becomes a common virtue, extolled by all.

As far as whether Chris Kyle was perfect? I don't know. Few people are. He did what I could never do.
