This is a look at the stupidity of war. Remember, it’s never the soldier. It’s always the leaders. It’s why we have war.

The History of War … ala Alice’s Restaurant style by Arlo Guthrie.

War? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! — — Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong

Kid, I want to tell you a story. I want to tell you a story about a group of people. You see, kid, they called themselves the human race. Now, these people lived a long, long time ago on a place called planet Earth. Now, this was a neat and groovy place. It was far, far, away in the universe.

These people had all sorts of neat and happening things. They had water to drink, food to eat, they had sunshine to keep themselves warm. They had all the resources that they needed to build a fine and magnificent place. But you see, kid, they done fucked it up.

Now, these first people on planet earth lived in small villages. They had all sorts of groovy things in these villages to keep themselves occupied. They had food to eat, water to drink, they grew plants, they raised animals. They even had cute puppy dogs and kittens to keep themselves entertained.
