Plow Shares And Swords. Oh, And Happy Memorial Day! (May 28, 2018)
. . .
K “A sword in one hand, a plow share in the other.”
J “On this planet, you cannot carry one without the other.”
. . .
K “I’ll put down the plow and pick up the sword in defense of the village, but not based on a lie.”
J “If not for lies, there would be far fewer wars.”
K “They lied, kids died.”
J “But not their kids.”
