After this I won’t be talking about the hard stuff. I intend to transfer to other topics.
For at least 5 years I’ve known that gas-guzzling U.S. military machines are the real cause of global warming.
President Obama extended the Afghanistan war for decades. So–who’s kidding who about plastic straws being evil?
I was against the first Iraq war in 1991. The current president increased spending on the Pentagon and has bombed Yemen. Even though on the campaign trail he said he was against war.
Do we really need to be fighting wars? Funny how our government doesn’t like how Iran’s government is run and how its leaders treat their citizens.
Yet Americans are supposed to accept that our government spends billions on forever wars and cuts spending on welfare like Medicaid and SSA retirement benefits.
With the billions in arms that we sell to Israel why can’t we use that money to prop up the SSA retirement money Trust for Americans?
No one on either side of the aisle has stopped the wars. Women and children are killed in the wars so why claim abortion is a greater evil than war?
It’s OK for men to kill in a war and they’re valorized–yet women are deemed murderers for choosing to get an abortion.
I don’t think the Liberal political system is any better.
I’ve said all I care to about this for now. Coming up a return to talking about what can give everyone joy in the face of despair.
Like the cover of the spring issue of Magnolia Journal attests it’s the season for:
“Making Space for the Good & Lasting Moments.”
With all that’s going on that’s not right we can choose peace over combat compassion over judgment bath bombs over war bombs.
