The Very Best Memorial Day
Last night Andy Rodney ended his touching remembrances of his own friends lost to war with these words.
Remembering doesn’t do the remembered any good, of course. It's for ourselves, the living. I wish we could dedicate Memorial Day, not to the memory of those who have died at war, but to the idea of saving the lives of the young people who are going to die in the future if we don’t find some new way - some new religion maybe - that takes war out of our lives.That would be a Memorial Day worth celebrating.
War is no more inevitable than slavery was once thought to be. We just need to figure out how to get along with each other without it.
