War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit
which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power
lies even in the wounds one receives. F.Nietzsche
As long as war is regarded as wicked,
it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar,
it will cease to be popular. O.Wilde
But if you go to war, you don't have to declare war. You're just at war and we did that, which is not legal. V.Kilmer
Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun.
Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane. J.Cusak

enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. J. kennedy
An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy. M. Zedong
War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. A. Bierce
All the vast contributions of antiquity in government and law, in science, letters, art and philosophy,
all the building of the culture and civilization that still remain the foundation stones of human society,

We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile.
And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves. A. Camus

Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock. W. Rogers

Time for Tool
ordered my tickets to see the most infamous noncomercial, heavy-psychedelic metal band... TOOL!!! I know this may not seem like much to someone else, but I got into them at the start of undertow, and right then backtracked to opiate and since then obtained all of their later albums and a few of the perfect circle spins. Nonetheless, I still await the awe striking force of danny carry, and the pervasive power of maynards voice.

its not my fault
Scientists have determined that having guilty feelings may
actually damage your immune system.
Go Ahead, Have Another Chocolate
Having an over-developed sense of guilt, could be, if not
the death of you, at least damaging to your health. This was
the conclusion of researchers at a British University, who
in 2000, surveyed 30 students, and asked them to list the
things that gave them pleasure, and rate that pleasure along
with the guilt level associated with each one. Ratings were
to range from 1-10.
Scientists then tested the saliva of all 30 students, for
the presence of immunoglobulin A, which is an antibody that
constitutes the human body's first defense against
infection.
Those students who had consistently high guilt ratings, had
the lowest levels of the antibody, a result that prompted
the research team to conclude that continuous feelings of
guilt would over time, suppress the body's immune system.
Activities listed as causing the most guilt reactions,
included sleeping in late, eating chocolate, smoking and
drinking alcohol. Surprisingly, while sex had a 9 average
rating for pleasure, it earned only a 1.6 guilt average.
Reading a book consistently rated high for pleasure, with no
feelings of guilt.
The most interesting result, was in the activity that rated
a ten for guilt, and only a 7 for pleasure. It was watching
a well-known soap opera.
