Four Generations

I read an article that said studies have shown that war effects four generations of families involved at the time.  It's no wonder our society in this country has significant social problems since we have been at war through the past 7 generations with no breathing room in between.  Wives and children of service men who are killed or who return from war are forever changed by the trauma their husbands and fathers suffered.  Can this account for the spiraling increase of addictions and mental problems we've seen in the past 50 years? People are yearning for calm, for peace in their souls, for meaning in their lives and for the simple pleasures of work, love, family and living. Now we see the unrest in Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan, the overthrow of governments  and discontent of the people.  When will we ever learn to care for each other, sigh...food for thought.  The flower children had it right when they said "Make love, not war" We are more offended by sexuality in media than by violence; what does that say about us? Pogo said "I've seen the enemy and he is us"
