This is what happens when churches allow musical instruments. They become long haired bedbound hippies.

RZehr, there’s an alternative and some hope for you, The other option is that you write a book.

With Congress spending glibly in the trillions, i suppose it was inevitable.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

:idea: I could probably write a children’s book. I’ll work on the hair and mobility. :)

Wife: if any of your children are artistic, it might actually be a fun project if you’re stuck in bed anyway. Even if it just ends up being something fun to have for your family.

Of course, if you ever make it big with that book, we would expect a free copy for saving you from a hippie future.

Lyrics:

War isn't murder
Good men don't die
Children don't starve and all the women survive
War isn't murder
That's what they say
When you're fighting the Devil
Murder's okay
War isn't murder
They're called casualties
There ain't a veteran
With a good night's sleep

Let's talk about dead people
I mean a dead people
The dead don't feel honor
They don't feel that brave
They don't feel avenged
They're lucky if they got graves

Call your dead mother
Ask her when she died
It's a deathly silence on the other line
The dead don't talk
But their children don't forget
So in 20 short years
You can live to regret that

War isn't murder
There's money at stake
H-ll, even Kushner agrees
It's good real estate
War isn't murder
Ask Netanyahu
He's got a psalm for that
He's got a bomb for you
War isn't murder
It's an old desert faith
It's a nation state sanctioned righteous hate

Let's talk about dead people
I mean a dead people
War isn't murder
It's the vengeance of God
If you can't see the bodies
They don't bloat when they rot
And the flies don't swarm
And the children don't cry
If war isn't murder
Good men don't die

So in a short 20 years
Where you vacation the Strip
Try not and think about the dead
And have a nice trip

War isn't murder
Let's all give thanks
I saw it all in a movie
Give it up for Tom Hanks
War isn't murder
They don't ship out the poor
And the bullets they fire
Ain't part of the cure
War isn't murder
Land is a right
But the banks called dibs
It's something you can't fight

Let's talk about dead people
I mean a dead people
The dead don't feel honor
They don't feel that brave
They don't feel avenged
They're lucky if they got graves

Call your dead mother
Ask her when she died
It's a deathly silence on the other line
The dead don't talk
But their children don't forget
So in 20 short years
You can live to regret that
