The Linguistic Rorschach Test

 Do you hear it as Eats, Shoots and Buries?

or Eats Shoots and Berries?

* It's really not fair to force the peaceable people to live in a world where they see more years at war during their lifetime than without.  I mean America, and yes, I consider our actions in Ukraine and American taxpayer involvement -- we're keeping this fight going with the dollars we've earned working that they take in taxes -- to make these war years.  What happens over there affects us here at home, if only to worship weaponry and violence (we are sending cluster ammo; no more pretending we are the "good guys" riding in on white horses here...) and take dollars from our treasury that could be spent on people's needs here to take people's lives over there.

Bad deal for us.   

They've had their war years.  They've gotten all they can take by force.  Now let them work to grow what they need to fix what they've broken with the weapons some have profited from...

Life goes on.  The warriors need to stop dragging everyone into their messes and learn a more reasonable way to live.  The dark ages died with Bush Sr., the ex-CIA man.  That America withered away in the Cold War.  Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave at how Bush's boy perverted his party, and it will be interesting to see where the more Isolationist anti-global warrior wing of the party takes us in years to come.

Team Esau and Team Jacob then.
