WAR IS SELL

Propaganda rules. Syria and Iran are next, so get your stickers, ribbons and flags ready. They'll be needed for a long time this time. Think of all the Arabs and Muslims yearning to breathe free. We might have to knock off most of them. Freedom isn't free, and it's most expensive when an outsider delivers it to you.

Henry David Thoreau was jailed for refusing to pay a tax to support the War with Mexico. Ralph Waldo Emerson visited Thoreau and asked, "Henry, what are you doing in?" Thoreau answered, "Ralph, what are you doing out?"

We need more Henrys; we have too many Ralphs.

It's all so simple.

THOUGHTS WHILE JAYWALKING

- As a result of Shock & Awe, half of the people still alive in Iraq (women) will lose most of the civil rights that they enjoyed under Saddam, the madman, who encouraged female careers.

- The FBI has abandoned a search for stragglers of the middle class. They are feared forever lost after not being noticed as they vanished over the decades.

- At a local wedding reception, the first tune played by the dance band was, "I Will Survive."

- We should never forget that in 1952 four major oil companies were fined by the Justice Department for overcharging the federal government on oil shipped to Europe under the Marshall Plan.
