Viewing Earth from the perspective of a tiny fragile globe hurling through space humbles and inspires all at once - but makes flag waving and joining in difficult. And so from age 10 on things got difficult. I mean if you're paying attention, even just a little, how can you not be angry? But how also can you not be inspired and awed.
And so I write. By Charlie Phillips

Casualty Houses
Soldiers don't make the 'ultimate sacrifice'. They were young and vital and just beginning their lives when they were gunned down. They so wanted to live.
They were murdered as they murdered. That's what war is.
Funny how we call them casualties.
Maybe we ought to call slaughterhouses, casualty houses. Cows could then make the 'ultimate sacrifice' so we could eat steak.
