Sounds more like this war of words has escalated to, well, a war of slightly harsher words, I suppose.tigrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438801388377581634.post-86835039462584069122011-01-09T18:12:19.706-08:002011-01-09T18:12:19.706-08:00I am quite pleased to imagine that I will never kn...I am quite pleased to imagine that I will never know war, but I think I have some time left.

It is the ascendency of force and violence over society and culture. It is the rule of the gun. It is one twenty year old making life and death decsions about entire communities. It is chaos and brutality. It is not anything that most Americans can understand, but it is something that America and other "enlightened democracies" has unleashed upon millions, if not billions, in some kind of horrific game where power is never challenged, but the weak must suffer and die nonetheless...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.com
