Armistice Day

Anthem Veterans Memorial
I've seen a bunch of posts about Armistice Day today. I wasn't going to say anything, but then this picture caught my eye. Wikipedia has the details.

WW1 was a disaster of epic proportions. I suspect that it was at least due in part to the population explosion of the 19th century. I suspect that the violence we see everyday is due to our natural propensity for hate. It would be nice if we could eliminate that, but it is part of our nature and no doubt played a large part in getting us where we are today. So maybe it's just something we are going to have to live with. The best we can do is to channel that rage and aggression into non-destructive endeavors, but even that may backfire on us. Keep building new things without destroying any old things and pretty soon you are going to be walled in on every side. And then what are you going to do, Bucky?
