Quote of the Day:

When was the last time the entire world was at peace? Was there ever a period when homo sapiens was not banding together in communities and trying to beat each other up? When was the last time my country was at peace? Apparently in the entire history of the US, there were only about 15 years of peace – and that was intermittent. Can you remember a time when our troops were not fighting somewhere?
We sing of “peace on earth and goodwill to men” but we don’t live it. Peace is something that might happen someday, not today.
