The AFSC’s [American Friends Service Committee] widely acclaimed exhibit on the human cost of war is branching out.
Eyes Wide Open: Pennsylvania features one pair of military boots for every Pennsylvanian casualty in Iraq and 50 pairs of civilian shoes, tagged with Iraqi names, representing the 50:1 ratio of Iraqi to US casualties in the current conflict. As of January 2006 Pennsylvania has lost over 110 soldiers, the third highest state casualty count in the US.
This exhibit is available to communities across the state and will be on tour in the spring of 2006.

I'm protesting left blogs because there isn't equal "righty" representation.
Not to mention I don't like BS.
