Memorial Day, For War, Peace, or Fun?

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, america, as we pay tribute to the roughly two million americans who gave their lives for our freedom. What they actually gave their lives for is a bit more complicated to analyze, so we'll call it "freedom", and move on.

what we actually do, of course, is take an extra day off from work, and have a good time, at the lake, at the river, at the park, and so forth. we travel a lot on this three day weekend, for fun. The actual memorializing seems to take place in a nice, tight, convenient little package, so as not to interfere too much with our good time.

memorial day almost seems a bit too positive, the way we celebrate it. maybe it should be a sadder, quieter, more prayerful, reverential and contemplative occasion. Perhaps we should consider the option of adding a component to memorial day; of commenorating the tragedy and futility of all war, and the dire need on our part to eliminate it.

war is competition for resources, based on the primordial fear of being without them. our extraterrestrial monitors must surely be amazed that humanity has not yet discovered the fundamental truth; that cooperation in developing ambiant resources results in the elimination of any need to compete for them in any manner whatsoever.

in other words, everything that we fight over is abundant, and easily accessible; our problem is that we simply don't realize it. land, water, oil, money; hell, there's plenty for all, as any brain can perceive. all we have to do is work together, and provide enough, but not too much, for all... but we refuse to.

one more possible component to memorial day of the future; memorializing, remembering, all the untapped resources at our fingertips which we through our stupidity and fear fail to cooperate in developing, instead chooing to compete for them in bloody insane war.

we honor and cherish those who died for us, even though, any by intelligent, enlightend reasoning, they died unnecessarily..
