Sabre-rattling is expensive...in many ways

I was listening to POTUS today on SiriusXM. Pete Dominic's show always provides some interesting thoughts to consider. Today, a gentleman indicated that we have only subdued swords with more swords and we should continue to expect the same dysfunctional behavior in the future.

Amen.

When will we learn? My guess is that we'll never learn. The esteemed senator from Georgia was spouting off about how we will hunt down the offenders and finish them off as they sleep or some such spin. And then what? We wonder and worry about what will happen. We are somehow offended when they say the same and rattle sabres at us? We pound our chests some more. We raise our swords high. More sons and daughters will die for what?

And...and it costs a whole heckuva lot of money to keep this going. When is this going to stop? When are the American people going to be repaid? When are we going to stop using the marketing ploy of death traded for freedom? It's crap, folks. We continue to devour others' liberties and freedoms to uphold ours on a planet that provides only one destination for all of us: death. What a pity we will spend life's reserves continuing in this manner. Sad.

As always, be thankful for what you have, buy only what you need, and work diligently for peace.
