– The greatest wars in the world have been fought in the name of righteousness. Fueled by the righteousness of a spectrum of a people. If this is enough, I would be one to believe that there is no way to stop wars. Why don’t we live with the fact that there are going to be wars? and killings, and psychosis and people being done in. What I would accept is that as a fact of life and be first to tone it down or other then that obliterate it. The more you obliterate it, that just brings on more forces out there. Anyway, my basic thesis is a low-key man, a low-key human being that can see both sides of the issue and be reasonable, and not get caught up in the righteousness of the old wars. I would be willing to stake my life on that. If that would be possible. But it sure ain’t going to be possible when one side out there going parading around with a banner that says I want abortions. And the other side could just as much be against that. That doesn’t do anything about taking down the vehemence the righteousness.
