war, peace, and moral crisis

Blogging time is limited this morning but two quotes were received from Information Clearing House which well describe our current days because, in spite of what Washington may say or do, morality never really goes out of style and worshiping the god of war is always a horrendous idea:

"We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living." General Omar Bradley


"The hottest fires in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis." Edmund Burke #

Wonder how Capitol Hill's classes on Ethics turned out? Did any students graduate--what was the flunk out rate? Perhaps we should lobby to pass a No Congressman Left Behind Act.
