should we send back our $300 refunds?

the iraq war will cost each family $3415. (via metafilter)

also, while i'm at it, seeing all of the flags half-mast for reagan is starting to piss me off. what makes his life any more important than those lost in iraq?

shouldn't we have just been flying the flags at half-mast throughout the whole 'war' for all of the fallen?
