We are living in the most
immediate of times. With
mass communication and
the speed at which informa-
tion and ideas can be ex-
changed it seems beyond

by Ian G. Lyon

 

‘iS mo reason

belief that the powers that
be can not come to terms
regarding peace. It’s such
an easy concept to grasp.
We now know that all
races of man are equal, no,
some are not more equal
than others, therefore there
to kill or
subjugate on these grounds.
Religious and __ political

leaning seem to be the main
of conflict

causes these

days.

There have been and still
are many so called ‘‘reli-
gious’’ wars. Of course
when you have God behind
you in your campaign... well
say no more.

Political wars are still
okay. I mean, like, there’s
nothing left to fight about,
ee |

Even Brother Ronald Rea-
gan says that wars can be
justified by putting it into
economic and political per-
spective. They need peace in
the Middle East to protect
the oil. They wanted Gren-
ada to save the American
medical students from be-
coming politically aware.

When you think of the:

billions of people that rely
on 10-15 very powerful coun-

try leaders it makes. you
realize just how important it
is to get the right person in
office. We vote them in
(most of them, anyways) and
it’s up to us to live with the
consequences.

If our leaders decide a war
is the best thing, for what-
ever reasons, some of us will
have to fight. That’s one of
the consequences.

Another is in the area of
economic growth. They
make the tax laws and
import duties, but: that is
getting off of the point. |
. WAR SUCKS, all it does
is make quick profits for
some and get others killed.
So when war comes to your
town, STOP IT, BOYCOTT
WAR.
