They may call me a rube and a hick, but I'd a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it. This country is not where it is today on account of any one man. It is here on account of the real common sense of the Big Normal Majority. I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like you want to. When the big nations quit meddling then the world will have peace.
People talk peace.
But men give their life's work to war. It won't stop 'til there is as much brains and scientific study put to aid peace as there is to promote war. Take diplomacy out of a war and the thing would fall flat in a week. You can be killed just as dead in an unjustified war as you can in one protecting your own home. People don't change under governments.
