Okay, this one's real. Many have seen it before. I suppose one day I'll post a more recent one where my hair is closer to it's actual frostiness. For now, I'll live in the past 
The youngster is my youngest son. I was sleeping in on a Saturday before a vacation and he crawled in bed to wake me up.....

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)
