Opportunity costs? God forbid we talk about casualties. But it's a start, right Thomas?

Now all we have to do is reach, then convince, the walking dead, those shuffling hordes of consumers, fortunate to have never seen, much less endured a now all too common dystopian aftermath resulting from a US "Free the F**k Out of You" foreign policy move, and too detached to even pick a side. The rest of us, or at least what's left of the peace movement since Obama swore to uphold his abridged version of the Constitution, don't need to feel like we are outside screaming in the wind again - alone.

UPDATE:   According to Truthout at least 188 Members of the House of Representatives, including 69 Democrats, have done at least one of the following things in the last few days: (1) signed a letter initiated by California Democrat Barbara Lee saying that there must be Congressional debate and vote before war with Syria; (2) signed a letter initiated by Virginia Republican Scott Rigell saying that there must be Congressional debate and vote before war with Syria (3) issued a statement calling for a Congressional debate and vote before war with Syria.

And Thomas is no longer returning my calls.
