The headline reads....

"Army sees suicides jump 13%"

I don't even know what to say about this.
How can anyone justify ANY war
Much less THIS war?
Not only are we sending our kids off to be killed,
And not only are they trying to kill people with whom we have no personal beef,
But the whole experience is so catastrophic, barbaric and traumatizing,
That our kids are choosing death for themselves?!?!
How crazy is all of this!?

This may be the first time --
But will definitely not be the last time --
That you hear me say that
Education
Holds the keys to peace
and Quality of Life.
It is not just job training, Folks.
But more about that later......

When is a bargain not a bargain?

Careful!
There's nothing wrong with a knockoff handbag...
And possibly not much wrong with a bootleg cd or dvd.
But counterfeit Trojan condoms smuggled in from China?
Mmmmmm, I think not!

I'm Ready Now

And I'm back.
It's taken me a minute to be sure.
Blogging is more than a notion.
But I'm determined to jump in anyway, so here goes.

Peace.
It is certainly not easy to find.
And it is not found where we seek it --
In true love or prized possessions.
There's really no way around it.
The way to peace is to take the guided tour
Back through it all
To You.

So this is me --
I'll be writing when I can,
And hoping that you'll drop me a line as well.

'Til then...
Peace.
