Have looked at many of your drawings....I am impressed.....You do good work and you must have a ton of patience....How would I know that?
P.S. I registered today.

This is such a lovely peaceful scene.

Thank you so much :) vn no I do not have much patience thats is why my work is not as good as it could be :)

Glad he made it home safe as well, that's a dangerous job (explosive ordnance disposal). I was a Scout over there and we worked with those guys on many occasions.

(((Helena)))..so happy for you, and for him, too.

Thanks everyone :) 3 days to go!!!! yeayyyyyyy!!!

Hi Hel, I love the work you are doing, you are really improving with your drawings. War sucks, and this one is a big f.. waste of lives.

Calacores, your knowledge of great music heartens me! Do you know of Phil Ochs works? Looking forward to hearing you on the phone again.

As far as the question posed by the title of the art. War is only good for the power elite that profit from it. Those that fight and die are never the ones that gain. "Good for the economy" is a fallacy. The only sector of the economy that get a bump is the arms manufacturers, and other providers of military equipment. Much more good would be provided to the economy if the same amount of money was put into education, or rebuilding OUR country's infrastructure. And if the resources were put into renewable energy, we would no longer have to colonize the Middle East. If you want to see the real face of the current war, go watch Fahrenheit 911.

I think this was based on a song: "WAR! Hoo! *music going* What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING." I like that song.
