What Could Be Colder Than Trivializing The Death of a Soldier?
When your country has troops fighting and dying almost daily in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and many families of these troops live in your city and state, you might want to think twice about the first line in one of your daily clues for the St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion Treasure Hunt:
What could be bolder than killing a soldier?
A crime both evil and grim.
Accused of the deed, but soon after freed
So we name a park after him!
Yes, I know. The clue refers to an episode in St. Paul's history and is no way intended to refer to the dangers faced by U.S. troops today. But still, it's easy to see how families with loved ones fighting overseas are a little sensitive to these things.
(Thanks to Acme for the tip off. By the way is there a hold up in my order for the rocket powered roller skates?)
