Our national spending priorities add endurance to Martin Luther King's charge that we are a world of guided missiles and misguided men.
This website makes it easy to take a look at where the US Congress spends the tax dollars it raises, and how it affects your state.
Where Do Your Taxes Go?
What lesson is there in the fact that we spend 49 cents of every tax dollar on the military, while spending 9 cents of every tax dollar on nutrition, housing and education combined?
A stream of consciousness begins...
Minds dull when bombs shine and hope shines when bombs dull.
A shrine shrinks on bombs hope and a child's blood spends like bullets.
Peace and love bore men to apples, but warriors dream of gardens.
Make love and war and have a bang.
Funerals are like morning-after pills for war (sounds deep but seems to imply nothing).
It takes a child to raze a village but a hero for a parade.
Don't blame me I voted for the other war enthusiast.
God asked me to tell you to jump off a bridge.
A stream of consciousness sputters and ends, far off course...
