Once again, for Veterans Day I wish there weren't any

I'm sick of the lie of war. The reason is always the same. The result is always the same. For all our sakes, but especially for theirs, I wish there were no war veterans.

On this day we again honor all the (mostly) men who fought in US military actions. But shouldn't we thank everyone who has fought to advance all just causes? Here's a wonderful, educational website to put it in perspective...

I'm so glad the next war, like the last war, will be the last one. I'm fresh out of thanks.

Saying it again

Gandhi once declared that it was his wife who unwittingly taught him the effectiveness of nonviolence. Who better than women should know that battles can be won without resort to physical strength? Who better than we should know all the power that resides in noncooperation?
~Barbara Deming

If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle.
~César Chávez

If do right, can no defense.
~Mr. Miyagi

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
~Jalal al-Din Rumi

Robin: "They'll mob me!"
Batman: "Groovy."

Money alone will not bring happiness. But it is better to cry in a taxi than on a streetcar.

People can be slave ships in shoes.

You don't lose dignity by being a child.
