Don't let the title fool you. This is a song of peace. I have started out every morning this week with this one from Shontelle, "Battle Cry "- positive, uplifting, good vocals and a great beat...this will put a smile on your face and go ahead let your body move to it. What ever happened to Shontelle? I love this tune and want to here more from her.  What is she up to today, I think this song is Ocotber '08 - just before the election

Another Big notable is this quote from Greg Mortensen's "Three Cups of Tea", written in the fall of 2003

Former Brigadair General Bashir of Pakistan, " As a military man, I know you can never fight and win against someone who can shoot you once and run off and hide while you have to remain eternally on guard. You have to attack the source of your enemy's strength. In America's case, that is not Osama or Saddam or anyone else. The enemy is ignorance. The only way to defeat that is to build relationships with these people, to draw them into the modern world with education and business. Otherwise the fight will go on forever."

Yup.

So I am still slogging through Howard Zinn's People's History, one friend told me about a sort of 'highlights' of Zinn book that really might be easier. The thing is this really is a very good book but I gotta take it in small pieces because it really is a record of one small group of assholes oppressing a large group of less well armed/informed/organized group of others...kind of depressing. I read this book and I really start to think that ever since there was like 2 people and 1 spoon someone had to hit someone else over the head with a rock to get the spoon. Oh and then I read about the Crusades, wow, pretty much blasted any shred of Christianity I was hanging onto for old times sake, right straight out of me...talk about peopl
