Close up shop, come home. Give us all a break.

[Paper Roses]

I'm sick of war, sick of hearing about it and paying for it.
What we save without wars would help so many millions of people rise to a better standard of living...here at home.

So we pay more for oil. Well, I can't afford it now either but if we don't have to pay zillions of dollars for wars, maybe we can establish a realistic subsidy to help those for whom the price of oil based products is too great. Left over money could do wonders for other things like education and infrastructure.

I'm not talking about $1.00 items, I mean heating oil, gasoline and the like. Big ticket stuff.

Not counting the smaller skirmishes, I've lived through at least 5 wars. That my friends is 5 too many.
