Yesterday was Canadian Remembrance Day. Stevie of the blog Life is Too Short to Learn German wrote about it being Remembrance Day. I especially liked her last comment, "this [Remembrance Day] is an important day and I propose we use it to remember the horrors of war, the people who died senselessly and remember that we must do all we can to make/ keep peace in the future." Isn't the point of remembering war to both honour the people who protected our/other's rights/lives and to remind ourselves to avoid war? Isn't learning history about learning from past mistakes?
Thanks Stevie for making such an astute comment.
The only other thing I'd like to voice is concern for where views of my blog have been coming from recently. Based on the traffic source names it sounds like revolutionists are using my blog as proof that capitalism is bad. I think a lot of people can agree that capitalism has its faults, but so does every other market system. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but thus it is.
