The quest for some and their utopia of peace is a pipe dream. All one has to do is look at history.

What is interesting to note today corporate censorship of the wars that we are involved in has spread to the music industry.
Case in point is the following song which I think rivals any anti-war music that was produced in the 60's.
This young lady try to get her record company to release this song for three years and in the end her record company dumped her and she had to release it on her own.


YouTube - ‪19 Miles to Baghdad‬‏

It's time for man to EVOLVE and PUT DOWN his arms (weapons) and use his (real) arms to embrace his fellow man!!

In order to war, they have to make you think that the other people are "inhuman." Brainwashing, and hate-mongering.

But man can and does live in peace with his neighbors. We all have things to give, things to share. (even here on city-data! )

Yep- 9/11 was clear evidence that there's nobody out to get us.....

Some things in life are more important than military might. No, MOST things in life are more important than military might.

You apparently feel the need to fight other people's wars. But I don't. If I'm killed for not fighting, at least I'll know that I was innocent, and with no blood on my hands.

If my mantra is "Kumbaya," what is yours? Taps?

You're free to believe that if you want.
