Then why did Mr. Lincoln's wife, Mary, go insane after their son's and his death. Maybe she wasn't "positive" enough! He, apparently, had long periods of depression as the war dragged on.------ sorry Link, ya got it very wrong.

Diogenes comments on Mar 22, 2019:

Yes, to me, "silence" is collusion. Fighting evil always makes the combatant stronger, regardless of the end result- and I will never say that action is 'easy'.

This one is for @Diogenes, a special request.

Everybody, I am going to have to drag myself into the 21st Century and learn more tasks on the computer. I thank Marionville for doing this for me. The video was also fantastic. Another piece by Ketelbey that still is often played is Persian Market, but I like all venues of music.

Germany wants US ambassador expelled

Diogenes comments on Mar 21, 2019:

Germany learned from their mistake. The US learned the inverse to what the Germans learned. The US 'war and murder industry' has gone on non-stop since 1945. Eisenhower (his name, verbatim, in German, means "iron hammerer"). He warned about "The military-industrial complex" in the early 60s. When there is more money for war than schools, there is something seriously wrong.

100% True....

I went to the local pub yesterday, had a couple of Guinness- but there was NO fun. They were handing out cheap, green, lite flashing, Chinese trinkets.

Well let me say this about Trump.

Diogenes comments on Mar 18, 2019:

Well good ol' C. S. may have had somethings right, but it isn't this one This is a platitude. For example, this may be an exceptionally evil example but when a German youth was indoctrinated by the NAZIs and he murdered people, could he change what he had done in adulthood? No, and he could never live down the guilt either.

Diogenes comments on Mar 16, 2019:

Ah me, I should have payed more attention to my some-what education, but when Shakespeare's Brutus provides a reason for Caesar's assassination, his loss of reason or "remorse", that can't be compared to Trump! Trump has never had remorse or reason.
