A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

The " madness of Verdun " proves that God is French
Wishing " Happy Memorial Day " sounds about as absurd as wishing
Catholics " Happy Good Friday ".
But religious people should be made
uncomfortable by this secular religion of patriotism - so absurdly alike
in the mutually warring nations of Old Europe and the Russia of the
Czars.
I would guess that God is French - as they remember today the "
madness of Verdun " - the 100th anniversary : " a war to make the world
safe for democracy". Wilsonian blather !
It seems that our American Memorial Days mostly honor WAR.
" Make love not war ! "
