There are men who fight battles with weapons of the mind There are men who fight battles with strength of will, and body. It is an age-old pulpit: which is greater- great thoughts or great deeds? One must salute the bravery of youth the indestructable spirit of such and the dedication of a pure unspoiled mind. So an intrepid smart man must know the time when strength is needed when the words of peace must ring sharper than swords but also when to command men's wills and when to command himself. 5/8/10 |

While I would like to believe that all disputes can be achived through diplomacy unfortunately it is not the case. Violence should be a last resort but if more lives are lost through inaction than the world powers should act collectively to resolve the problem. But like I said before we should never rush to arms. |

Thank you, all, for your continued kindness! This was inspired by reading the speeches of Abraham Lincoln. Man that man could write! Men just don't write like that anymore, with such verve. Jeff |
