Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten; Dan Weingarten & David Clark for November 11, 2024

Subtle, yet poignant!

Except we are enabling it through the recent election.

It’s also true with King’s od Pope’s names. The first one doesn’t get his number until there is a second one.

I have an old chemistry textbook my mother used in school. One of the problems in it stated that some substance had been used “in the World War”. I asked myself “But which one?”, then found the printing year: 1935. People didn’t know what would happen a few years later by then…

“The only winning move is not to play.”

If a computer can come up with that, people should be capable for it, too.

Well, at least the third would probably be the last.

The civilians themselves don’t go to war…. unless they are invaded by another country…. at least that’s how it USED to be, but here in the US we just feed and support the invaders… …. but it is the governing bodies that start the invading actions…. and the citizens would rather just get on with their lives, while the young men of the countries, who can’t seem to find any other work, enlist in the military… and get sent to other countries where they will get killed, which suits the governing bodies that are trying to keep our populations down, because there really aren’t enough jobs for everyone, with robots taking over where we used to need laborers… and how many lawyers and doctors do we need??

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” —Albert Einstein, ca. 1947

Happy Armistice Day!

Um oh yeah about that third world war thing it’s already started

WE don’t need a day to remind us not to do such stupid things! The USA DIDN’T start either World war, but the USA joined, fought, and ENDED both wars!

By some reckoning, the Cold War counts.

Not just us. The rest of the world too.

Would that day be “Veterans’s Day” or “Memorial Day”?

We used to, Clyde; it was called Armistice Day. Now it’s just another holiday celebrating militarism.

One deficiency we’ll never have: not enough shopping holidays.

And Black Friday Deals.

Every.

Single.

Day.

Flag draped coffins should be enough reminder.

maybe we could call it “one tin soldier day”… ☺

An Austrian started WW1 and then another one started WW2. Anyone watching these Austrians?
