"Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon.
A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis
developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air -
explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes
into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we
wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of
sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and
gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and
all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look
on their faces and cover the world with imagination."

Believing a battle might be decided with a crayon is certainly no
more ridiculous than thinking peace might be the end result of war.
Perhaps if we would truly honor those who have fought and died on
every side, it is time for us to find a better way.
