WAR- A- LUDICRACY – By Oscar E V Fernando Peter, Paul and Mary – Where Have All the Flowers Gone (25th Anniversary Concert) With billions of people inhabiting planet earth-it will not be an exaggeration to say that there will be as many opinions as there are inhabitants; Dictionary defines the word opinion as a view held as probable and one can therefore conclude that a dispute on a probability leading to a quarrel-fisticuff-battle or war-is ludicrous to say the least: it will only reveal the egoism of two persons that eventually spreads into formation of parties carrying venomous slogans-leading to a brutal war-thus two can cause a World War!!
