'And who's killed more than Lennon, the Beatles, and their Rubbish?' SL

Note to a friend that forwarded me this video,

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN4Uu0OlmTg 

Dear friend,

I finally have to say it, Lennon and friends have done as much to perpetuate war as, well, anyone I can think of, with their hideous nonsense that singing and wishing are going to bring peace. My God, such criminal nonsense.  Devoting our lives, everything we are, and everything we have, with courage, sacrifice, and numbers that put the armies of the world to shame, then there will be peace.  And as long as we harbor, and spread lies that singing and wishing will do it, the blood of the innocents is more on our hands, than those of the soldiers.

When I read this from David Delliger not too many years ago my head almost literally exploded with the Truth he condensed into this:

"Few people chose war (WWII); they chose selfishness, and the consequence was war."  We choose singing and wishing instead of slaving and working.  Yes, the blood is on our hands, and Lennon and friends.  What cruel, deadly, murderous, morally, intellectually and spiritually bankrupt rubbish.

Love you to,

sl
