4. what I mean is

that 33 (probably young) people from Ohio have died in Iraq. Never mind the thousands more injured, those from the other 50 states, and the Iraquis themselves - for oil. Not for WMD. For Daddy.

Correct me if I'm wrong. W = wrong

6. It certainly went over my head since I didn't know you were talking about

Soldiers from Ohio that died in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. When you said "33 dead in Ohio," I thought "not that many were killed at Kent State," or some kind of disaster just took place and you were being blasè by mentioning the price of oil. Since I'm from Louisiana, I haven't paid attention nor do I know where to find out how many Ohio residents were killed in Iraq/Afghanistan. It's just not something that came readily to mind.

Go ahead and make your poster - that's a great idea. If your intended audience is beyond the boarders of Ohio, then I suggest a slight clarification.
