Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Peace?
The other day I was listening to U2 and the song Peace on Earth came on. I'd heard it quite a few times before, and I remember that they played part of it just before Walk On in the first 9/11 memorial concert (a great performance). I always thought it was a good song, but I had tended to dismiss these kinds of sentiments as hard to argue with, but not really very useful. But this was the first time I'd heard it in a while, and the first time since our son came home. And these lines hit home: "Tell the ones who hear no sound Whose sons are living in the ground Peace on earth." And I realized I don't hold much hope for the world being at peace, or even more at peace, by the time he is of fighting age. And I really don't know what to do about it.Posted by markj at February 23, 2004 10:56 PM
