A joke without humor …<br />
(10/17/<strong>2011</strong>)<br />
In case you might have forgotten, <strong>the</strong> United States is still at war in<br />
Afghanistan — a war that is patently unjust & completely ineffective. As<br />
such, it is time fro Americans to protest, and if <strong>the</strong>y protest, to protest<br />
powerfully. When it comes to matters of social justice, our energies need to<br />
have an acute focus, & I suggest we start by demanding U.S. “leaders” to<br />
withdraw ALL American troops <strong>from</strong> Afghanistan — immediately.<br />
“For war, when we confront it truthfully, exposes <strong>the</strong> darkness within<br />
all …of us. This darkness shatters <strong>the</strong> illusions many of us hold not only about<br />
<strong>the</strong> human race but about ourselves. Few of us confront our own capacity for<br />
evil, but this is especially true in wartime.” ~ Chris Hedges (2003)<br />
“In war, God is on nei<strong>the</strong>r side …<br />
In peace He is on both sides.”<br />
~ Steve Consilvio<br />
“Suppose <strong>the</strong> world were only one of God’s jokes.<br />
Would you work any <strong>the</strong> less<br />
to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?”<br />
~ George Bernard Shaw<br />
