War....

The economic crisis is worsening. Families are losing their jobs and their homes. Some even losing their lives, i.e. the father who shot his entire family and then himself because he couldn't find a job! Retirees are losing life savings. And the war(s) continue.

Thank God the election is right around the corner.

Here a some quotes I came across:

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948), "Non-Violence in Peace and War"


One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976), Autobiography


Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
Mao Tse-Tung (1893 - 1976)

Sorry to be so gloomy today... it's gloomy outside as well.
