	Monday, July 24, 2006 Thought for the Week No one [back home] had the vaguest idea what we were in for. The wisest were just the poor and simple people. They knew the war to be a misfortune, whereas those who were better off, and should have been able to see more clearly what the consequences would be, were beside themselves with joy. --All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque posted by Swami Uptown @ 3:33 PM \| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- << Swami Uptown Home
