I was up on the walk overlooking Monterey Bay the other morning at 6 am or so. A 70 year old woman who was taking a stroll and picking up small trash on her walk stopped to chat. The conversation turned to the news, and global mayhem and at some point I said: "We're involved in every conflict on the planet. Where IS the US antiwar movement?" She smiled, and with a twinkle in her eye said: "There never was an antiwar movement. There was an anti-DRAFT movement" She's absolutely right. A nation of Narcissistic Psychopathic sheeple being led down the rosy path to hell for the sole purpose of accumulating 'shiny stuff'. DroneWars R Us! At least we don't have to see pieces of 'OUR boys' coming back by the Globemaster Cargohold-fulls in flag draped coffins. Rr
