Killdeer nest, Site 4, Freeman Community Club RV Park, Freeman MO, May 11, 2010
What's a poor mother to do?
You find a good mate, carefully pick a site, sculpt a nice nest amongst those hard old crushed rocks, lay 4 eggs coordinated to match the rocks, array the eggs just so with the pointy ends down and in, keep them nice and warm day and night rain or shine.
Then some jerk nearly steps in the nest.
And has the gall to come back later with a camera 'cause he thinks the whole thing is a work of art.
Sheesh man - it's a freakin' NEST! What's a poor mother to do? Freak OUT!

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.
