Give Peace A Chance

Not much going on tonight. Just resting at home. It's been kind of a sad day, since a close friend of my parents' died this afternoon. Other than that shock, the Ides of March has gone pretty smoothly......tomorrow will be the 44th aniversary of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. It's been on my mind lately, with the recent massacre in Afganistan. How can anyone just kill innocent people, especially children, in cold blood? War breeds atrocity, and I can't believe that, with all the cruelty in our history, human beings still feel the need to snuff out lives over petty quarrels. Don't try to tell me about "human nature" because I don't buy it. War is the great tragedy of humanity. There is no honor to be found in needless aggression, and it has been bringing us down since the beginning of time. Death will come to all, but to cause pain and suffering to another person is inexcusable. We must conquer the hatred and anger inside ourselves before it is too late.
