Nah, that's ok. You go ahead. We'll be fine. Seriously, seriously, we'll be fine.
We have no advanced kind of debating-type support for our "anti-war" argument. It's just that war doesn't seem. . . smart.
If you are looking for good things to say against the war, you should go somewhere else, like Google or a place like that. Not that we can't come up with that kind of thing (e.g., "killing is just, well, bad . . ."; "war sounds quite like 'whore' "; "there's no 'i' in 'war'", etc.), just that we don't really feel like it. We'd rather go shopping and think about whether or not we should continue to work in the professional services industry.
We're not saying no just to the War in Iraq (capitalized, like on NBC or CNN or FOX or DOG or whatever). But sort of to war in general, right? I mean, what's the point? I've seen some war movies, I've read some war books, and it just kind of seems like war SUCKS. And like it doesn't really do any good. I mean, there have been wars since the beginning of time and there are still wars and people still die. Are we even trying to get past war?
And what's the point of those other wars: The War on Drugs? The Cola Wars? The East Coast-West Coast Rap War? The Card Game of War?
We're not really trying to engage you here. We just wonder what the hell's going on out there and why there are crazy MF's like Rummy running things and making fun of the press and refusing to acknowledge that they smoke crack.
