You Idiots!

So I was reading the Aeneid the other day and you know the last last books are all about the war between Aeneas and Latvinia's suitor? Well like 10 pages from the end the tale the suitor is all like "I must end this man to man with Aeneas!" and I was like why couldn't you have done that at the beginning? Why did all these people have to die in place of a duel? Idiots. And then Juno, the god who instigated all this is just like "I give up" and I was like Don't you care that you sent hundreds of men to their death? To make a long story even longer: it made me reaffirm what what I figured out a few years:

War is stupid.

I mean c'mon people the reason we ever really go to war is because some idiot, or more than one idiot, is trying to force their beliefs onto someone else. So I will once again preace tollerance. Don't get me wrong, I have great admiration for someone who will fight for what they believe in but the bottom line is They Shouldn't Have To. I pray everyday for peace in the world instead of this incesant fighting. I mean think about it; the US hasn't not been in a war since WW1 which was supposed to be the war to end all wars! Ha! I think that there have been like 20 "the greatest war"s in history. I don't know what to think anymore except to keep protesting that we answer violence with violence. Whatever happened to "Two wrongs don't make a right?"

On another note, just as sad though: Natasha Richardson! Tragedy. RIP. I can't beleive it happend again. First Heath Ledger, then Bernie Mac and now...

Just keep giving Peace, Love, Harmony out to the world.
