Pretty good.

Make Memorial Day about remembering how we stopped having to go to war, instead of remembering the ones who died in it.

We should remember them every day. We should celebrate the not having wars on a specific day.

I liked it, and completely agree.

I hate how there are folks who think that if we just build up our military SO big, and SO powerful/futuristic, that we won't have opponents because they can't possibly win.

I was flipping channels a week ago, and there was a story about Star Wars, and current/future technologies. It looked like an infomercial for Lockheed, et. al. They interviewed one woman who was proud that as soon as we controlled space, nobody would ever launch an attack, because we could stop it, and retaliate in seconds.
