A joke without humor … ( 10 / 17 / 2011 )
In case you might have forgotten , the United States is still at war in Afghanistan — a war that is patently unjust & completely ineffective . As such , it is time fro Americans to protest , and if they protest , to protest powerfully . When it comes to matters of social justice , our energies need to have an acute focus , & I suggest we start by demanding U . S . “ leaders ” to withdraw ALL American troops from Afghanistan — immediately .
“ For war , when we confront it truthfully , exposes the darkness within all … of us . This darkness shatters the illusions many of us hold not only about the human race but about ourselves . Few of us confront our own capacity for evil , but this is especially true in wartime .” ~ Chris Hedges ( 2003 )
“ In war , God is on neither side … In peace He is on both sides .” ~ Steve Consilvio
“ Suppose the world were only one of God ’ s jokes . Would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one ?” ~ George Bernard Shaw
