From the Quotation of the day mailing lst, 2007-02-04:
"In times of peace, the war party insists on making preparation for war. As soon as prepared for war, it insists on making war." - U.S. Senator Robert M. La Follette Sr. (1855-1925)(submitted to the mailing list by Mike Krawchuk)
[On a more cheerful note than that, happy Chinese New Year (year of the
pig)! And continuing in the vein of increasing cheer, happy birthday to
silmaril!]
