Nobody alive was in World War I.  Get over yourselves.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Just that we have memorial day.  Veteran's day - previously armistice day - was specifically for veterans of WWI to celebrate living through what was the worst war (from a soldier's point of view) in the world's history.

I don't feel the need to take that from them.

Kurt Vonnegut had a quote about that. I can't quote it directly while I'm on mobile, but I put part of it on my Facebook on the 11th.

Thread now makes sense beyond some fine pics. Didn't know that at all.


The Great War
should have been
the last,
but I guess
we haven't learned yet.


For the sake of not making
the ongoing sacrifices
being made,
every day,
vain;

we must one day
find a way to stop.

So we must remember.
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

"Ayn Rand never swung a hammer in her life and had serious dominance issues" - The Fountainhead

"World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation."

"You program the controller to do the thing, only it doesn't do the thing.  It does something else entirely, or nothing at all.  It's like voting."
