Sounds So Nice

We beat our swords into plowshares
  And the enemy bombed all our farms

Disarmament sounds nice in theory
  But it's the other side's call to arms

So true. I don't want to be unable to defend myself, even though I'm not so sure I'd have the guts to do so :) God bless you and your words

Right. Sometimes we have no choice but to defend ourselves. Let's hope we're not forced to. Smiles, Gershon

We all need to agree on peace; that is the ideal.

Shame peace is often only one sided, what a great world it would be if mankind turned all his weapons into ploughshares. Tom

I'm afraid that man turned his weapons into stock shares, and then re-weaponized them again...

There is an old saying my friend. 'If you cannot protect something, it's not yours.' Stay frosty. Well penned.
