whose actions continue to exploit, despoil, and destroy us.

one's sense of inherent worth.

but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders.

they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.

Most everything we do is habitual.

At the same time, I feel an affinity
for others who are like me in some way -
in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

a place of delight just the same.
