thanks for this Idealist

not since recorded history began has there been one minute of peace on earth ,a conflict started by the few is suffered by the many, this part of a modern Irish folk song kind of sums it up for me

oh they came in there long ships

from lands beyond the sea


oh they came in there long ships

and they saw the land, was green

leaping ashore , they slaughtered

those who labored, in the barely

not them hiding in the yellow corn

marching down the years

the men of war they came

with guns, assassins bullets, cs gas and bombs

ghosts from the past

are chasing shadows

through the fields of barely

not them hiding in the yellow corn

nine hundred years they have tried

to trap the wind, that shakes the barely

and the son in the yellow corn


thankfully IRELAND is at peace justice and reason and the generosity of the victims to free the next generation,from the hatred, and the men of war, to seek a new way ,to victory

It is said justice is a double edged sword http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/6000/6073/justice_1_lg.gif

better she were to hold a bushel of corn and a olive branch than a sword and balance out, the fruits of the world

these modern swords and weapons are unjust and welded by poor souls, driven by the snickering demon of revenge ,that you find in all war on all sides just or unjust


I wonder how much land could be made fertile and productive if the worlds weapon trade money were put to that use
