••can ye pass the acid test?••

ye who enter here be afraid, but do what ye must -- to defeat your fear ye must defy it.

& defeat it ye must, for only then can we begin to realize liberty & justice for all.

time bomb tick tock? nervous tic talk? war on war?

or just a blog crying in the wilderness, trying to make sense of it all, terror-fried by hate radio and FOX, the number of whose name is 666??? (coincidence?)

preparation=prevention?


i've heard several politicians and pundits say
the best way to prevent war is to be prepared for war,
but today i saw a bumper sticker that said
you can't simultaneously prevent war and prepare for it.
so which is it?

well, it occurs to me that we are the best-prepared-for-war nation in history, and we've fought a bunch of them. since ww2 we've had at least 4 major wars and several smaller ones in about a half century.

can anybody name another country with as many?

is that prevention?
