So much controversy in the world lately, even in our own country. Should we go to war? Should we stay home? Republicans fighting Democrats, Left wing vs. Right wing (who ARE they anyway?) War advocates vs. peace advocates, etc.
I had a piece ready for this spot but decided instead, to list a few of my favorite quotes in the hopes they will speak to you for a long time. I hope you read them and then understand how they weave together to make a statement about today's world. (Feel free to copy any of them and paste them where you will.) ~ with love, Alexis
