Last night's storm front moved on and today I signed up for another three weeks here at the Bosque Bird Watcher's RV Park, San Antonio NM. I like it here, the birds are endlessly entertaining, the price is not hugely more than the New Mexico Parks, and my stay will extend beyond the next NM Parks furlough closure February 8th and 9th. Kills many birds this on stone does.

This is Easy

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
