Make love, not war--easy for us to say.
Might be impossible for pukes. I think they only marry for money or when their families or churches push them into it. The idea that some people are totally unloveable might seem strange to liberals, but I think pukes make war because they don't have the other option.

1. I think you are on to something,these sexually repressed types do seem
to have a thing about starting wars that does not usually translate into actually fighting them. This would include the entire civilian staff of DoD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RICHARD ARMITAGE. A truly gung ho guy from what little I have read or know about him. ...Oscar

2. Well OK.
Not a very optimistic take on the world. I am glad I think different. The future is change,as always and today is gone.

3. I always found the phrase to be insipid...
Human beings are complex: they can make love AND make war. After all, Lyndon Johnson had tremendous success in the early years of his presidency combating poverty and racism...while he was setting a peasant country aflame.

I never liked the phrase.
