BTW, thanks for this post.

Definitely for me, Christmas cards and wishes of Peace do not necessarily conjure war, violence, and injustice. Easy to do that if you live in relative peace.

There’s an excellent book chapter from military historian Gwynn Dyer explaining the historical background of the UN and the “international system”, what can and can’t be expected of it.

Great reading and a very readable description of the context of the UN and how achieving peace is a long, imperfect, and sometimes disappointing process. But it’s better than the alternative.

Why American women should boycott American men

http://boycottamericanmen.blogspot.com/

I am an American woman, and I have decided to boycott American men. In a nutshell, American men are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent woman would want to get involved with American men?

American men are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American men is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American men are inferior to foreign men (non-American men), and why American women should boycott American men, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) men.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN MEN!

Did I do this right?

Reminds me of the great political theorist’s, David Mustaine, aphorism: peace sells, but who’s buying?

Marketing gimmicks cheapen any meaningful expressions. I see nothing wrong with the word ‘peace’ being used ‘apolitically’, in fact, it seems naturally separated from politics. Peace has meaning on many levels and in many ways. It is not simply the opposite of war. It CAN be free, and it can be something you can give at no cost, like goodwill and forgiveness. It is a state of mind and a way of being, both of which can affect your world without any ‘political process’.

I’m glad we haven’t reached the point (yet) that we see ads saying “W-A-R The Present You Can Give For Free”. Although, come to think of it, was is pretty darn expensive these days.
