When a mother loses a child under tragic circumstances, it takes an AWFUL LOT to reach the point of not having any more sympathy for her.  But Cindy Sheehan has managed to do that, mainly because long ago it stopped being about her son and started being about her and her new-found celebrity status.   It's not our fault you weren't around back in the 60's, when the lot of you were young losers instead of aging losers.
