There WERE No "Weapons of Mass Destruction"

DUH!

How much money did that startling discovery cost?

War on terrorism....war on drugs....war war war war war.

It's not going to go away as long as there are people (the only true weapon of mass destruction I can think of).

There's always going to be bullies and victims, whether it be on the school yard, on the highways, in a marriage or in government. There's always going to be the reminder that Mother Nature is far larger and more powerful than mere humans, and that she, too, will take her victims. As long as we remain human, we remain an animal, struggling for food and shelter, marking our territories, mating and reproducing.

And, as long as we are human -

our struggle also gives rise to great literature, great art, great theatre, great music as well.

May grace be with you should you, for one moment today, steer towards greatness.

An absolute piece of beauty....

It is true...we are our own worst enemy as well as our best friend. If we restrain the urge for control and violence, society could easily become some Orwellian nightmare.

The passions and emotions that drive us to be artists come from the same place as the passions and emotions that drive people to hate. Sad but true. Even if we win, we lose.
