Reflections

Written in May 2011

Supreme stupidity is answering your country’s call and doing its bidding without first determining whether you understand much less believe in the cause. I must plead guilty for unquestionably marching off to Vietnam, a country and culture and its issues of which I knew nothing about. It took me into my second tour to finally wake up and discover my country was dead wrong to get involved. My country has since made many such wrong involvements. In fact, the great intelligent human species has a long unending history of horribly wrong decisions.

Technologically, humans are a marvel. Living in harmony with the rest of the creatures of the planet-humanity is a dismal failure.
