In his Editorial Board newsletter, @johnastoehr makes a powerful argument why Nov. 11 should return to its origins as Armistice Day. Quoting Kurt Vonnegut, Stoehr writes that the silence from the WW1 Armistice was heard as the "Voice of God" after the horrible carnage of war. — PolitiTweet.org

@TimothyNoah1 @sewellchan I can see the question on all official forms, "What age do you identify with?" Personally, every week, Jack Benny's stubborn claim to be 39 gets funnier and funnier. Somehow I didn't understand the joke in the late 1950s. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnastoehr It's a powerful argument -- and I so respect Vonnegut on war. Also, the folly of World War I is stunning in its epic and mostly pointless carnage. Sorry that I didn't have a link when I originally tweeted this out. — PolitiTweet.org
