An Irresistible Sunrise, South Monticello Point, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Elephant Butte NM, April 4, 2009
An irresistible sunrise
In one of those wonderful serendipitous moments I caught my friend Kate doing exactly what I was doing - trying to capture the glory of another New Mexico sunrise over Elephant Butte Lake. Check out Kate's photography on her blog, Kate and Terry - Travels in Cholula Red: Thoughts and musings as we travel in our Lazy Daze Motorhome.
Kate and Terry's website about their life with Cholula Red were a significant factor in my decision to search out a Class C for my first RV and a Lazy Daze in particular. It's been one of my better decisions. Thanks Kate.

This is Easy
Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
