:I must say I'm glad you caught that the way I made it sound, I really disagree with war, but in truth I don't in all cases. I was just pointing out the ability to substitute words as a sort of ironic thing, and I don't fear dying either, but there are certain prefered ways as far as I'm concerned. I also didn't mean to put such an emphasis on death either, but I was in a sort of morbid mood, and that's what came out. As far as the comment about war bringing change and death the cost, this is where I'm especially glad you commented because I overlooked the fact that the way I constructed the commentary, it seemed that I was slamming war in ALL cases, but I want to clarify that I do agree with war if it is the all in all last means for freedom to be obtained from an opressive force, or to form a new country if this is for the best, but what I wanted to emphasize is that in some wars, killing someone different is the change that is sought. World War II comes to mind. Killing innocent people for the benefit of a "superior race" is the kind I was talking about, not about the freedom that war does undoutedly bring in some cases. I should have thought to include that for clarity's sake. Thank you for bringing that up, I really appreciate it. Andy
