Thought for a Friday: We seem condemned to fight the same battles again and again… Different places, different “enemy,” changing justifications, but those who benefit all sit at the top.
And there’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
I wanna know who the men in the shadows are
I wanna hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they’re never the ones to fight or to die
Jackson Browne, Lives in the Balance
