Using Common Sense


Which political leader would you agree with?

DOOR NUMBER 1:

"The yearning for peace is universal." POTUS, September 23, 2009.

DOOR NUMBER 2:

"It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans." FEDERALIST No. 4, November 7, 1787.

MY PICK:

I've got to go with Door Number 2.

I've seen the sneaky (and up front) things my kids do to each other. No yearning for universal peace there!
