I feel so much better and safer now that The Great Peace March has passed, leaving a trail of peace behind it.

Why do I feel so morally inferior for not putting on an old torn T-shirt with a simplistic slogan on it, rugged, old Wild West-style red bandana and raggedy pants and sneakers and joining that holier-than-everyone crew to tell all us simpleminded clods that war isn`t simply fun and games? Why don`t I quit the money-grubbing grind and walk for some glorious goal along with a pack of like-minded happy-go-lucky foragers dedicated to eradicating some pernicious evil in the world while scavenging the wherewithal to maintain that untrammeled, ulcerless lifestyle?

Peace, man. Ain`t it the life?
