Dear Lost Souls,
For better or worse, we are at war. Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday night. We invite you to take a momentary pause from the burden of these days and join us in the company of familiar friendly faces. The passion of your opinions is welcomed, but please leave your anger at the door. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie on route to your chosen Friday venue or to linger indefinitely. Yours,
Greg
“Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”
- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
