I haven’t had a chance to see if the big truce is still holding, but I hope it is (I mean, if they can’t hold it for five hours…).\u00a0 People can pretty much die all on their own in this world, without anybody helping them along.\u00a0 So, whattya say we all try not killing anybody (on purpose, at least) for, oh, I dunno, how about a year?\u00a0 Would that be too long?\u00a0 After that, maybe we can take a vote and see how things worked out.<\/p>\n
So, no helicopter attacks on Hamas, no rocket attacks on Israel, no suicide bombing, no IED’s, no invading sovereign nations (even if we don’t really like their leaders), and of course none of your basic daily murder (what the hell, why don’t we call a moratorium on raping an pillaging, too, since the three really seem to go together; a little mayhem on the weekends would be OK, I guess).<\/p>\n
I figure with all the money we save from not blowing shit up, we could maybe do some real good (can you imagine if the US Government were to take the $10 Billion a month – that’s 10 Gigadollars, for chrissakes – we’re spending on Iraq, and put it into, oh, electric cars or education or, well, just about anything <\/strong><\/em>else).\u00a0 Maybe we could put the Christians to work on it, to keep ’em busy; I think if they just had a little less time on their hands, they might not feel such a need to go fucking with the rest of us all the time (just make sure there’s somebody we can trust keeping an eye on ’em, or they’ll rob us blind in the name of Christ).\u00a0 Plus, think of all the freakin’ time we could save, not having to go through airport security.<\/p>\n Have a good Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I haven’t had a chance to see if the big truce is still holding, but I hope it is (I mean, if they can’t hold it for five hours…).\u00a0 People can pretty much die all on their own in this world, without anybody helping them along.\u00a0 So, whattya say we all try not killing anybody […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
