warmonger
I always liked war. Probably because I have never been anywhere near one. When I was 10, I would sneak downstairs to watch "Combat" or "The Rat Patrol" The good guys never got killed except for an occasional new guy who would join the squad, you could see it coming. So, we are going to a lecture at E-Town College put on by the Ware Colloquium on Peacemaking and Global Citizenship. I'll try not to snicker and mock their naivete. It's not that I want war, it's the last thing I want to experience. It's just that war has been around in a big way ever since the 1st caveman figured he could get your stuff if his stick was bigger than yours. Doesn't seem that things are going to change anytime soon. My thought is that we should have the biggest stick and be willing to use it. Then peace will come, temporarily. We are going to hear a lecture by Shirin Ebadi, a Iranian human rights activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Sort of lost some of it's sheen since Al Gore and Obama "won" it. Kill them all and let God sort them out.

It wasn't awful, fairly superficial...I think the thing that surprised me the most was that Ms. Ebadi spoke through an interpreter!
