No one hates war more than the warriors.
That sounds so quaint, but it's absolutely true.
I have talked to a whole bunch of warriors and the thing they fear most is letting down their buddies.
We could all afford to adapt such a code.
(The key phrase to me was "suffered nightmares for the rest of his life". Cut the motherfuckers some slack when they need time readapting to "normal" life.)
I think about these magnificent bastards every fucking day.
"War's over. Let's fake serenity."

I think that last image is a metaphor for modern Americans in time of war.
What an exquisitely beautiful example of womanhood.

Now I'm afraid all our best science is in the business of killing people...
What's with the girl on the bench?!?!?
Dear Folio Olio readers,
Sometimes...many times, I come upon images that, in my opinion, need no explanation whatsoever. This is one of those images.
(my jury is still out on whether it's the government's right to set wages)
Let's suppose you want to take control of a country. How, in the name of sanity, do you decide that the best course of action is to blow up your own people...innocent people....non-combatants?

Isn't it sort of like slapping a girl to the ground, then asking her to marry you? Any intelligent rationale is welcome on the comments below.
Let's take another example of insanity. Let's suppose you were given the job to name all measurements. Then you get to a small amount of liquid and you name it "ounce". Then when you come to a short amount of weight you just say, "Fuck it, I'm tired of thinking up all these words, so I'm going to call it an ounce, too." And all your measurement helpers giggle at the absurdity.
You may have noticed that I really like imagines of beautiful places. I present yet one more....

I painted a mural like this one time. The panel was made by securing triangular pieces of wood on plywood, then painting two different images on the opposing sides. It was very effective.
I don't want to sound like a dirty old man, but this is not a bad image, but it would have been much more effective if the woman was naked.......just sayin'.....
This dashboard light is a very effective way for the dealership to separate you from your money...
So, ah, still think you're poor?
This dress was designed to make any woman look thinner.
My, that's huge!

Where's the wine opener?
Yes, hanging plants.....literally....
Aaaaaaaah.......NO......
Nailed it....on the cheap....
There was a whole series of these about how they made a disaster movie called "Final Destination 5". I found it interesting....
(I also found the movie amusing in a Rube Goldberg sort of way)
Well, I don't give a shit......oh, my, I made a little pun!!!
TRUE: Various levels of government are working to pass laws to forbid YouTube from posting clips of police brutality. Well, that's one way to solve the problem.
Saw on TV that they solved this problem by ripping up the asphalt, repaving, then repainting the sign. Think about that a minute.
This thing's sole purpose is to hold itself up....
I like it.

There are millions of these online. People find old photos or postcards and go to the place where the original was made and do this....

It's more like being surrounded by women you want to marry but who hate you, blowing a few of them up, and saying, "If you don't want to be blown up, marry me."
Fear is a powerful motivator and it very obviously works quite well. Egalitarianism, especially between the sexes, is a fairly recent phenomenon in human history. Yes, it existed at various times in the past, but it was never particularly widespread until the last few centuries.
The short is answer is this: we are animals with readily-exploitable instincts, and "sanity" is relative. The sadistic fundamentalists at work in Islamic nations think they're perfectly sane, just as you think you are. Tabula rasa, and all that.
