When a politician has to use a cemetery background for an advertisement to make a point, that is something that should WAKE UP people. What ever point he was trying to make, only shows his desperation in creating sensationalism or dramatics to make his point. A cemetery is a sacred place and should not be used in any political campaign. There is a reason why cemeteries are considered private. There is no reason to use this in any political arena. Respecting the lives of people who have died for their country is a personal and private area of respect. Change places with the people who have died and then ask your self if you would want your tombstone represented in the background of a political arena.

Daily Horoscope for June 18

Scorpio

You're in a nicely emotional and loving mood today, and you'll be happiest if you can be with some of the special people in your life for at least part of the day. You don't have to do anything terribly special when you're together, either, because simply sharing a relaxing meal or watching television together will be enough. If you get talking, the conversation will turn to confidences and secrets.
