You Gotta Fight, Fight, Fight (Sometimes), Again

And speaking of war and fighting . . . I've always enjoyed this Vonnegut quote from Hocus Pocus:
If there really had been a Mercutio, and if there really were a Paradise, Mercutio might be hanging out with teenage Vietnam draftee casualties now, talking about what it felt like to die for other people's vanity and foolishness.
Petty squabbles ought to be avoided. The collateral damage, for both petty political wars and petty theological wars, is absolutely brutal.
