Oh London, my Lionheart

Better than War

I might think of a better series title, but for now this is the start of a series about things on our planet that we should experience instead of enduring war.  This is an effort to have a positive online presence to counteract the profiteering over fear and hatred.  ISIS and Alt-Right do not have the answers.  Neither do I.  It's our job to figure it out for ourselves, but I think love plays a big part in it. Happy Saturday.

We should pull out, Dude

We need to pull out of war in the middle east (and anywhere else)
Our presence in the cradle of civilization,
impregnates hate and fear.
Users are weaponizing this turmoil against humanity.
The United States is fueling the weapon.
For fuck sakes!  All humans are on a planet in a solar system in a galaxy in the middle of, as far as we know, infinite space.  We are on this planet for a short amount of time and shorter for some and especially those in war zones.
How dare the U.S. government (or any other government) decide how another human on our planet should experience it!  Let us experience the earth and relationships without military conflict!
I'm even talking to you little tribal war bands.  Stop it.
It's one thing for ancient tribes to protect their territory because they didn't know better.
We do.  To continue these deadly disputes is futile and a waste of our time.
We should use our time on earth to discover.  Discover what?  Whatever the fuck you want.
But do no harm.
