@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

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

This was the article on the blessed concept of peace that Armistice Day once represented. I commend it to you all on Veterans Day. — PolitiTweet.org
