SLG's excellent paraphrase of John Stuart Mill. The original quote is "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 a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."
Principles of Political Economy. While I wind up disagreeing with some of JsM's conclusions I love the way he writes.

Not at all. This thread has convinced me that voodoo_man is basically the LV of EDC.

I'm not even close.
The USN crew have thousands of dollars in Ti in their edc and the like. I just have a very specific point to my edc ('s) which sometimes ends up costing a penny.
