I agree with you, GUEST, that this weekend is a very appropriate time to not only reflect on our brothers and sisters who had gone before us in the many, mnay battlefields that have cluttered the Earth during our lives but also a time when question the wisdom of continuing the lunacy. I graduated from a militry school during the Vietnam War and out of the hundred or so brothers who were in my class, 8 were killed in Vietnem, along with one cousin, and my best friend in grade school. And for what? These were people who were part of my life just as there are men and women who may be about to be put in harms way so that a *bored* nation and its hawkish leaders can get their jollies.

With that, and only that said for this day, I will go back to reflecting on the lives of my friends and family who aren't with us today in body and pray that the Lord speak very loudly in the hearts of those who are so Hell-bent on sacrificing lives when there are so many pro-human, pro-Earth options which have not been either considered or tried.

Peace in the name and spirit of out fallen Brothers and sisters...
