Mark Twain’s Early Protest against the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
A holy moment.
The more we learn from history and the stories from previous generations, the more I can see how far the human condition is “off the mark” of living in right relationship with life in all aspects. Thanks for this revelation.
Serious political commentators of the past are often recognized and as youth and children we are encouraged to read their age appropriate materials. Mark Twain - Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn disclose the inquisitive - trials of youth but why at a young age did I not want to know more of the wisdom so eloquently offered by Samuel Clemons?
In old age so much to remember - so much unknown. Such a shame for me to admit.
Thank you for the enlightenment.

Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.
Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction after all, has to make sense.
To understand the world often one must look from the bottom up. We are who we are by how we treat the weakest, vulnerable, and voiceless amongst us.
