Homestead mailing list

Who gets to make the decision concerning which war we should or should not be 
involved.  You just, yesterday, said that a man was wrong for not abiding by 
the instuctions of elected officials on what he must do to drive an 1/8 mile 
down a public street, do you now say that every 19 year old,and 22 year old,  
and 25 year old gets to decide which battle or war in which they will 
personally participate? 

p.s.  A lot of smart people , including Sciott Nearing, thought we had no 
business in WWII, until after Pearl Harbor; and then, only with the Japanese
