When will the world learn, that peace does not come as a result of war.

War breeds war.

When will the world learn that by having so many damn kids they just keep breeding those ideals of violence and hatred? Just by standing down on the draft there is not going to be peace. I would think some of the country would understand the sacrifices every soldier, whether or not they were drafted, fought for America's freedom back in the 60's. And maybe with a more interesting president than Carter, one WITH personality, the rest of the world WILL understand what those in the war ARE doing for us and not against us. We can go to work every day, drink a coke while sitting on a nice swing, and relax, or go on with the busy hussles and hectic crap at work, BUT WE ARE NOT THE ONES FIGHTING OVER THERE! Just b/c it may be your son that is drafted, does NOT mean that son isn't doing something right. And just because the fear of loosing a son, husband, or brother over there that didn't want to go there is a possibility, so is the problem of the fear of death. Death is mysterious so naturally a lot of people are afraid of it. And if society is afraid of it, they don't face reality. Death is also required to make points in the world, it's not a pointless ideal. Independence is still allowed for those drafted. It's just in what type of soldier they are or what they will do to try and avoid being drafted. If it is anyone who should be drafted, it's the rich, not just the everday son. For they are the ones who can pretty well use their money anywhere for almost anything, and that's a hell of a lot of freedom they got without the grief of war. I'm known for contradicting and if I did, I'm just myself. Peace out, Creedsters.
