Poor Ms. Davis (Coast Reporter letters, May 15) sipping coffee in the sunshine during the peace vigil - she has a home she wasn't afraid to leave and to which she can return any time she wishes.
She has probably never experienced and is unwilling to try to imagine the noise pollution of bombs exploding, shells screeching, fires raging, buildings with people and belongings inside being bulldozed or doors being smashed in.
Poor woman - she is unable to hear in her tidy brain the screams of anguish, agony and terror of hundreds of thousands of innocents everywhere - Sri Lanka, Somalia, Pakistan, Palestine, Congo - their lifetimes destroyed. Dust and rubble, blood and bones and bits of what once lived, now rotting in the sunshine are visual pollution too horrific for her lifestyle.
Pitiable woman - unable to sacrifice a moment of pleasure to white doves fluttering and the acknowledging honk of a passing car.
