@whodey saidPerhaps, deep down, deeper than the aspiration for immortality, humans know that the only kind of life after death that's real is the one where people we knew and loved live on in our memories and their lives continue to have an impact on us even though they are gone.

(Considering that you might be capable, I'd half-expected something more solemn and thoughtful. I was unwisely... half-wrong.)
@whodey saidDo you believe Memorial Day in the U.S. promotes or develops "wisdom"?
The beginning of wisdom is to shun evil.
Therefore, remembering the harm evil brings to our lives and those around us is crucial to obtaining wisdom.

@whodey saidYour "whataboutism" doesn't fly in this forum, just like it didn't fly in Debates.

How about Libya? We were told the mission was not regime change, just to establish a no fly zone.
Somehow that all went awry, didn't it Suzy.
@secondson saidIraq was no direct threat to the US, and had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.
No. More like the global threat of terrorism. Or did you forget about that?
