what’s a war on violence?
Can you just put anything after “War on...”
Let’s all try.
“War on gum that loses its taste too quickly”
The phrase in the headline “War on Violence” had to be intentionally ironic. Though these days with public education one never knows. Lets violently put an end to violence! Its an easy war to wage. All who resist are the enemy!
I am tired of all these wars on and all these appointed czars. Drug czar, poverty czar, cyber security czar etc. This is America we don’t have czars and we don’t wage wars against ourselves. Except, we do.
This is how it goes. We are waging a war against poverty, a war on drugs, a war against illiteracy, a war on terror, a war on cancer; we are in a culture war and some think even a war on women...and all we get for it are bigger government, higher deficit, higher taxes, and excess violence.
I live in a humid part of America, and would like to declare a war on stale chips in my cupboard.
I’ve already declared a fatwa but it just didn’t take.
