Sometimes when words fail me, i'll seek those of others to put my own thoughts into context.... anyone think that these apply in light of the atrocities of the last couple of days? Care to add any more?
"But we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and we glorious Americans will occasionally astonish the God that created us when we get a fair start." (Mark Twain)
"Woe to the hand that shed this expensive blood!
Blood and destruction will be so common
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers will only smile when they see
Their children torn into pieces during the fighting,
All pity disappearing because cruelty is so common;
And Caesar's ghost, roaming about in search of revenge,
With Ate at his side still hot from hell,
Will in these boundaries with a ruler's voice
Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war,
So that this terrible action will smell above the earth
With rotting corpses, begging to be buried." (William Shakespeare)
