I was listening to Ron Paul's Liberty Report when they discussed a survey or poll which showed America's affinity for Peace. It was pretty amazing.
Some thoughts on peace... again.

Trump is currently traveling the world and supposedly making trade deals for the benefit of Americans. Maybe.
But I say... we don't really need him to do that. What we need is more freedom.

Some thoughts on Peace in the Middle East and the Catholic Pope.

There is an interesting revelation that comes with the negotiated end of the war, at the Treaty of Ghent.

Sunday is Jesus Day.
And it's Mother's Day... which in Korean reckoning is Parent's Day. The generalization is that children, no matter culture or context, want to please and give joy to their parents. The question is HOW.
