.  Perfect  -  thank you. I had just read This a Republic of Suffering- which definitely help banish any "curiously sanitized" notions from my head. I guess you can't really blame anybody for making a living, but the stores full of tchotchkes and fudge are distasteful to me. The battlefield guides used to be pretty good about getting the kids out of the bus and moving over the landscape, but this year we mostly stayed in the bus- don't know why. Thanks for giving me a place to process all this as we ride home.  Perfect  -  thank you.
