I said, "December 7," and we both said in unison, "Pearl Harbor Day." She was with a young woman in her early twenties and I said, "I wonder if this girl's generation knows it as Pearl Harbor Day?"

I just wonder: why does anyone believe that violence works as a means of resolving disputes? And who gets to decide that "faith" of any kind is or can be a basis for violence?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445519422482588108noreply@blogger.com
