"I said that to Harrison Starr, the movie-maker, one time, and he raised his eyebrows and inquired, 'Is it an anti-war book?'

'Yes,' I said, 'I guess.'

'You know what I say to people when I hear they're writing anti-war books?'

'No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?'

'I say 'Why don't you write and anti-glacier book instead?'

What he meant, of course, was that there would always be wars, that they were as easy to stop as glaciers. I believe that, too.

And even if wars didn't keep coming like glaciers, there would still be plain old death."

-Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five

I've been thinking a lot about the subject of war lately. I am definitely an idealist, and oftentimes not realistic, but certain wars just make me think, "Really??"

Anyway, Happy Valentines Day! I keep forgetting. I bought some Harry Potter valentines, which I plan on passing out to my loved ones if I can ever get off my ass to do anything today.
