Ping, pong. Ping... huzzah!

What is this, tennis?

People, let's stop going back and forth and back and forth. I hate to do this, but I must. What I am about to say is AWFULLY naive sounding and sappy and sickly-sweet, but hey, ain't that what love is all about?

"WAR IS UNHEALTHY FOR CHILDREN AND OTHER LIVING THINGS." "ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE." "CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?" "HOW MANY TIMES MUST THE CANNONBALLS FLY BEFORE THEY ARE FOREVER BANNED?"

and, if I may be so bold, a quote from a favorite Book of mine:

"...the lion will lie down with the lamb; the people will beat their swords into plowshares and study war no more."

WAR IS WRONG! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE SO DIVIDED AND FIGHTING OVER WHO IS JUSTIFIED! TAKING ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE IS A REPREHENSIBLE THING WHEN IT IS PROPAGATED BY AN IMPERFECT PERSON LIVING IN AN IMPERFECT WORLD! THERE IS NO GOOD REASON FOR KILLING!

PEACE ON YOU (I insist!)
