Smirk


I was googling for a particular quote about war, and happened upon a distinctly anti-war site, with a lot of quotes along the likes of:

There is nothing that war has ever achieved we could not better achieve without it.
Havelock Ellis


and:

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
Norman Vincent Peale


(I am still laughing at that last one...)

But the above cartoon was just so amusing, and certainly has elements of truth in it, that I just had to post it.

Ugh that last one sounds like a bad take on a Confusious saying.

Most martial artists who actually listen and believe in the original teachings (many forms of martial arts came from monks) state that fighting should always be the last resort but that qoute really misses the mark.

Too lazy to send you an email: I found the Ted Nugent online and posted a link on the original blogpost.

It's a wonder that these crazy anti-war people--who are clearly oblivious to reality--can actually function in society with their heads blissfully ensconced in dreamland.
