Just a quick one ...

... with lunch time being nearly done. Mimi calls attention to an excellent Chris Hedges piece. If I may presume to paraphrase Mr. Hedges: war is slow-motion suicide, in terms of physical flesh and blood, economy, culture, thought, mind, and spirit. It's likely irreversible. Here's hoping that something more reasonable, at least for a time, grows up out of the imperial wreckage.

It's discouraging to note the widespread reverence for the military and by inference, the waging of war. So we keep asking: Where is the Anti-war movement? Gone the way of the dodo, I'm afraid, except for a few sightings on the Internet.
