The End of War | Eastern North Carolina Now

My plan to end all war has a fatal flaw!

ENCNow
    There are all kinds of justifications for going to war that have been used throughout the history of personkind (formerly known as mankind). Some were gargantuan issues and others were downright silly. All resulted in the deaths of human (now known as huperson) beings. On many occasions the Silly Wars killed more people than did the Gargantuan Wars.

    I have a proposal to stop all future wars. It is brilliantly simple...

   
Require That the Leaders of the About To Go To War Antagonists Sit at A Conference Table and Stick Out Their Tongues at Each Other

    This would allow each side to show their absolute disdain for the other side. Once the sticking out was done with and their anger had dissipated they could then go back to governing their minions in peace.

    By golly I just saw the fly in this brilliant ointment! As logical as it may appear, my brilliant plan for world peace will never work.

    What if one of the leaders has a tongue that is longer than the other? This would certainly result in anger and the hurling of mean accusations across the Peace Table and the missiles would be launched within minutes!

    As The Kingston Trio sang to us so many years ago...

   
Some tongue will set the spark off
    And we will all be blown away
   
------------------------
   
Words of the Kingston Trio's the Merry Little Minuet

    They're rioting in Africa
    They're starving in Spain
    There's hurricanes in Florida
    And Texas needs rain
    The whole world is festering
    With unhappy souls
    The French hate the Germans
    The Germans hate the Poles
    Italians hate Yugoslavs
    South Africans hate the Dutch
    And I don't like
    Anybody very much
    But we can be tranquil
    And thankful and proud
    For man's been endowed
    With a mushroom shaped cloud
    And we know for certain
    That some lovely day
    Someone has not set the spark off
    And we will all be blown away

    They're rioting in Africa
    There's strife in Iran
    What nature doesn't do to us
    Will be done by our fellow man

   
    Would I kid u?
    Smartfella

    Lagniappe: I know you, my Dear Readers, at least one of you missed one of my most nifty Plays On Words ever. For that one poor soul I will spell it out for him...

    The Kingston Trio's actual song wording was:    
"Someone has not set the spark off
    And we will all be blown away"

    I cleverly changed the wording to:    
"Some tongue will set the spark off
    And we will all be blown away"

    Don't you feel sorry for that one Dear Reader? He must miss out on a lot in life.
