War is Over (If You Want It)

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men -- not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular." - Edward R. Murrow from his March 9, 1954 broadcast in regards to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.

Quote of the Quarter:      :

"...it has to be admitted that war is an outrageously successful activity. History demonstrates this over and over again. In a world dominated by material possessions - whether of goods, land, or natural resources - a population of people may win for themselves enormous advantage through military victory over another group; the benefits gained must, of course, outweigh the costs of combat (time, resources, and lives). A materially based world undoubtedly provides a favorable environment in which warfare can flourish. And it has flourished more and more with the steady rise in the complexity of social structure." - Paleoanthropologist Richard E. Leaky and Science Editor Roger Lewin in their book, People of the Lake (Mankind & Its Beginnings), pp. 217-218

Did You Know?

The 5,800,000 BTUs in one barrel of oil is the equivalent of 23,200 hours of human work output (That's over 10 years of physical labor, without vacation or holidays, at a 9-to-5 job). One gallon of gasoline is the equivalent of 500 hours of human work output, or almost one calendar quarter at that same job...
