If anyone sees David Ashman, tell him that
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things."
Tell Ashman that "the decayed and degraded state of
moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much
worse".
Also, explain to Ashman that "the person who has
nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than
his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free
unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself".
Men sort of like Scott Stantis, please tell
Ashman.
John Stuart Mill, noted philosopher, arrived at
this answer, as quoted here, in 1865.
