Lennon was shot by a white boy, the kind who go around shooting up schools.

I found a poem for you, Bambu

http://allpoetry.com/The-Crunch

Or if you're a 'glass half full' person, it could be 'Love is a heart from Heaven'.

Anyway...in the real world:

Daily Mail;

Houthis could get revenge on the U.S by cutting internet cables


Iran-backedHouthi militants in Yemen could try to sabotage internet cables in the Red Sea carrying nearly one fifth of the world's web traffic, according to a spate of new warnings. Yemen's government warned that the Red Sea is 'one of the three most important meeting points for cables' on the globe and the Houthis pose a 'serious threat to one of the most important digital infrastructures in the world.'



#####

Dead Houthis can't sabotage internet cables.
Looks like it has to be 'keep on bombing'.

Are there any other ways of stopping sabotaging of the cables by Houthis, or anyone else?

God is all about Love, Jesus commanded that we love our neighbors. He also said not to kill, and not to lie, and not to steal, and not to sleep with your neighbor's wife, etc. It would be a great world if everyone obeyed the Golden Rule to Love your neighbors and to treat other people the way you yourself wish to be treated. And if everyone obeyed the 10 Commandments. Just imagine if we all loved each other and helped each other and lived the way that Jesus commanded.

And yes Bambu, we can stop the Houthis and others the same way we stopped the Cattle Rustlers, watch the movie "Young Guns" where the young men are paid to stop people from stealing cattle. People can be paid to protect the cables, the same way that people protected the cattle. Machiavelli would call them "Mercenaries" to hire outside forces to guard and protect the cables. There can be a team of young mercenaries who their only duty is to protect the cables from bad people.

Salute,

Tony V.

I tried that "peace, love and harmony", "love thy neighbour"/"love thy headmaster", "love thy co-workers",  etc...it didn't work out so well, until I resorted to 'violence', "trickery', and 'loud noise retaliation'

One of the best Journalists was Geraldo Rivera, and he always said that he shined a light on the bad people to make them stop, he shined a light on bad things so that the good people could fix things and make it better. Geraldo said it was like shining a light on cockroaches and they go away.

And we can use our computers to try to make the world a better place, the same as how the Abolitionist Poets used their poetry to fight to free the slaves, etc.

Maybe the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove can help to make the world a better place, the Christians need to rise up, speak up, and work together as a team to create a better world. And I love Pope Francis.

Salute,

Tony V.

My cousin was just given a freezer full of cow liver from her neighbor who is a farmer. She does not know what to do with it, so I suggested a million ways to have liver. I suggested she put the liver in Tacos, and Burritos, and she can add sour cream, and guacamole, etc, and she can put the liver in Chili, and she can make sandwiches with the liver with lettuce and tomatoes and with avocados and with mayonnaise, etc.

She can also make Liver Wurst, Liver Wurst is expensive at the market, she can make Liver Wurst and then can it.

And even just good old fried liver and onions with lots of ketchup.

She is happy about the gift of free liver from her neighbor.

She lives in a rural part of Oregon where it is all Farmers, and Loggers, and Lumber Mill Workers. They love her there.

It is cool that she has good neighbors.

Salute,

Tony V.

Geraldo Rivera exposed the horrible conditions at the Mental Hospitals here in America, and Geraldo made it better, everything changed when Geraldo brought the horrible conditions at the Mental Hospitals to light.

Geraldo was a great Journalist who changed America.

Salute,

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

You could go join the god, guns and gaslighting convoy and find out for yourself. No one would miss you at all where you are at.

Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent were at the convoy's rally in mid Texas last week.

The convoy might be small in number but they sure are "America first".
The American flag sure means a lot to some people.

Cheered along the roadsides as they passed by on their way south to fight [peacefully of course, unlike some other protesters] for sovereign borders/border security for America.
