No study has found the same for people who participate in wars. I think this is because mass demonstrations for peace and justice involve something more than solidarity and camaraderie. They also involve the knowledge of working for the right end through the right means. What gives a life meaning is the awareness that you have dedicated your life to working to improve the world, not just at the end of a strategic sadistic adventure, but in every bit of the work you do. When you work for peace and justice, a little work does a little good, and a lot does a lot of good. And, while even your utmost exertion can fail, you know you will have done no harm, you will have set the right example, and you will have refused to sit silently by as crimes were committed.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-77162380910628857062007-11-19T15:20:00.000-07:002007-11-19T15:20:00.000-07:00Peace Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning<A HREF="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_david_sw_071020_peace_is_a_force_tha.htm" REL="nofollow">Peace Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-90587586410322336672007-11-19T15:16:00.000-07:002007-11-19T15:16:00.000-07:00That’s right; 15,000 dead US servicemen and women ...That’s right; 15,000 dead US servicemen and women in a war that--as yet--has no legal or moral justification.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-37613963497486595072007-11-19T15:12:00.000-07:002007-11-19T15:12:00.000-07:00Pentagon Cover UpI truly believe that there has be...<A HREF="http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18737.htm" REL="nofollow">Pentagon Cover Up</A><BR/><BR/>I truly believe that there has been a cover up.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-79529886645308296172007-11-19T15:06:00.000-07:002007-11-19T15:06:00.000-07:00What Does Iraq REALLY Cost?<A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/16/AR2007111600865_pf.html" REL="nofollow">What Does Iraq REALLY Cost?</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-33326569144845563132007-11-19T14:56:00.000-07:002007-11-19T14:56:00.000-07:00Thanksgiving HypocrisyThanksgiving should really b...<A HREF="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_stephen__071116_thanksgiving_hypocri.htm" REL="nofollow">Thanksgiving Hypocrisy</A><BR/><BR/>Thanksgiving should really be America's National Day of Atonement.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-42577304947396429742007-11-19T14:46:00.000-07:002007-11-19T14:46:00.000-07:00Nazi America’s Final DaysDear Posters:Let me start...Nazi America’s Final Days<BR/><BR/>Dear Posters:<BR/><BR/>Let me start by saying that I have reduced my posts because I, personally, do not see much hope for our decadent, demented, deranged, diabolical, and demonic country. We live in an evil country. <BR/><BR/>Stephen Holmes in The Nation’s October 29, 2007 edition discusses Chalmers Johnson’s book, “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic.” The book is a great read for people who have the time to read it. Stephen Holmes critiques the book in his article.<BR/><BR/>He says that 9/11 is to some degree blowback from America’s immoral and illegal behavior for generations. America will be in a constant state of warfare. Yes, we do have a military dictatorship and Hitler Bush will not leave office in January, 2009. We will face endless domestic tyranny in our country. Our mercenaries will be America’s army to protect Hitler Bush.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the legislative and judicial branches of government are broken. Our political system as we know it cannot be saved. America violently overreacted to 9/11. Stupid Americans permitted this overreaction. There are too many Americans who do not want to be informed of Nazi America’s misdeeds and murderous behaviors.<BR/><BR/>Americans must view their country through the eyes of others. America has exhibited a callous disregard for other people. Nazi America has been a bully for several generations.<BR/><BR/>We are left with little hope from Congress, the American public, and the Democratic Party. Nazi America will experience endless wars until it collapses. RETURNING TO AN IDEALIZED REPUBLICAN ORIGIN IS NIL.<BR/><BR/>May Nazi America rest in peace!!!<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>GeraldGeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-35317770004609481142007-11-19T13:41:00.000-07:002007-11-19T13:41:00.000-07:00DBB, thank you for the suggestion!
