Wake up VolNationals!
It's ladies day today in sports television. Women's semis at the French, then round 1 of McDonald's LPGA.
Of course the night cap is the big one, Celtics/Lakers... the legend continues..
"One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting. The P.S.U.C. militiamen whom I knew in the line, the Communists from the International Brigade whom I met from time to time, never called me a Trotskyist or a traitor; they left that kind of thing to the journalists in the rear. The people who wrote pamphlets against us and vilified us in the newspapers all remained safe at home, or at worst in the newspaper offices of Valencia, hundreds of miles from the bullets and the mud. And apart from the libels of the inter-party feud, all the usual war-stuff, the tub-thumping, the heroics, the vilification of the enemyall these were done, as usual, by people who were not fighting and who in many cases would have run a hundred miles sooner than fight. [
] Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecedented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."
-George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia
