You're posts are always uplifting and from the heart. You help me keep the faith in my fellow human beings. Especially, Americans who I've begun to view with deep seated contempt. :hug:

10. thank you for pointing that out...

It's such an UNPOPULAR topic... I wish we'd all think about the useless wars more.

11. But we can't afford early childhood programs or

Low-income housing
WIC
After School programs
Job training
Low income home energy assistance
Community Health Centers
Legal Services for the poor
Funding for the arts, NPR, PBS

The list could go on...

What is the military fighting for? There is nothing left to defend but the rich and I will be damned if one of my kids is going to go fight for their fucking tax cuts.

Edwin Starr—WAR!


War...huh...yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh ha haa ha
War...huh...yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it again y'all
War..huh...look out...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me ohhhhh
WAR! I despise,
'cause it means destruction of innocent lives,
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes,
When their sons gone to fight and lose their lives.
I said WAR!...huh...good God y'all,
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it again
War! Huh...What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me
WAR! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
War. Friend only to the undertaker.
Ohhh! War is an enemy to all mankind,
The thought of war blows my mind.
War is caused and raised within the younger generation,
Induction then destruction...who wants to die? Ohhh
WAR! Good God y'all huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it say it SAY IT!
WAR! Uh huh yeah hu!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me
WAR! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
War! It's got one friend that's the undertaker.
Ohhhh! War has shattered many a young man's dream,
Made him disabled, bitter and mean,
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days.
War can't give life; it can only take it away!
Ohhh WAR! huh...good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it again
War!...huh...woh oh oh Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me
War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
War. Friend only to the undertaker...woo
Peace lovin' understand then tell me,
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom,
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way.
Ohhhhhhh WAR! huh...good God y'all...
What is it good for?...you tell me!
Say it say it say it saaaay it!
War! Good God now...huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it...NOTHING!
