1) Lee Jae-hwan (Korean: 이재환 born April 6, 1992), better known by his stage name Ken (Korean: 켄), is a South Korean singer and actor, signed under Jellyfish Entertainment. He is one of the members in the South Korean boy group VIXX, and has been widely praised for his unique, soulful, and husky vocal tone. Ken began his acting career in 2014 in MBC Every 1's comedy drama Boarding House No. 24.
2) Ken also known as Ken Snyder, released a limited-run Christian/gospel album in 1976.
3) KEN is the solo-project from former Blackmail singer Aydo Abay of Koblenz in Germany. The first Album "Have a Nice Day" was released in 2002, the second album "Stop! Look! Sing Songs of Revolutions!" and the cover album "I Am Thief" were both released in May 2005 in Germany (US release: Feb 2006).
4) Ken is the name of the swedish hiphop artist Ken Ring. During the late nineties he emerged as one of the first rappers in the second swedish hip-hop wave. It was during this time that artists such as Blues, Petter and Thomas Rusiak. He released his debut album, one of the first hip hop albums to be released in swedish, during the spring of 1998. To this date he has released 8 albums, including one that was made in collaboration with norwegian producer/legend Tommy Tee.
Unlike most other Swedish rappers Ken attracted alot of controversy, because of his tendency to bring out social issues such as crime, jail, drugs and ethnic integration in his songs. Especially controvercial was his song "Stockholms blodbad" (translated "the Stockholm Blood-bath"). In this song he is perceived as promoting the murder of the royal family as well as the rape of the princesse. Although he himself claims the statements of the song to be of a strictly rhetorical type, Swedish media and opinion were unforgiving. Ken was shunned from social events and popular media for a long time. Most of his supporters cite this as evidence of the cowardly way in which Swedish media never misses a chance to scrutinize uncomfortable outsiders.
5) KEN is the ex guitarist of the Japanese Rock band ZI:KILL.
6) KeN is a Vocaloid producer who is most known for LOL -lots of laugh-.

君の目が光る
携帯の着信を見ては 僕に詰め寄る
後ろめたいものはないのに
君の視線そらしちゃう
濡れたカラダ拭いもせずに
気にしてない態度貫く
「愛してるの?」
「口にしてよ」「照れるだろ」
「どうしてなの?」
「言葉じゃないよ!」
「そんなの 関係ない!」
「言葉じゃないだろ!」
男はいつも狙い定め
追いかける生き物
追いかけられ始めるとすぐ
逃げ出したくなる
緊迫してる非常事態を
抜け出す術はただひとつ
力ずくでキスを求めて抱き寄せたら
うまくかわされた
「私を見て」「疲れているんだ」
「好きじゃないの?」
「そういう意味じゃない」
「ねえ 聞いてるの?」
「何度も言うなよ!」
「そう言って 逃げる気?」
「怒らせるなよ!」
「愛してるの?」
「それはわからない」
「口にしてよ」「照れるだろ」
「どうしてなの?」
「言葉じゃないから」
「愛してないのね?どうなの!」
「愛してるの?」

The lyrics in Ken's song War are reflective of the idea of fighting against wars. The repetition of "It's a war on war" could be interpreted as a call to end all wars. The song might be addressing the idea of how destructive wars can be and how it is important to put an end to them.
The repeated line "You have to lose, you have to learn how to die" can be interpreted as a metaphorical death. Perhaps it implies that in order to bring an end to wars, people need to let go of their ego and pride, take the hit, and work towards finding a peaceful solution. The song might be telling listeners to let go of the fear of losing, and instead focus on how to make peace.
The lines "Just watching the miles flying by, you are not my typewriter, but you could be my demon, moving forward through the flaming doors" suggest that progress is being made. The views in the rear mirror are of the past, and one needs to forget them to move forward. The demon reference could possibly connect to the idea of facing one's fears in order to progress through difficult situations.

Ken Burns, I respect. But Burns was wrong to say Lee disapproved of slavery. And (like all of us) Burns was wrong to conclude that our country could not again conceive of civil war.
...
About Lee, this (everything from this point forward) is from The Atlantic in 2017:
Lee was a slave owner—his own views on slavery were explicated in an 1856 letter that is often misquoted to give the impression that Lee was some kind of abolitionist. In the letter, he describes slavery as “a moral & political evil,” but goes on to explain that:
"I think it however a greater evil to the white man than to the black race, & while my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more strong for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence. Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild & melting influence of Christianity, than the storms & tempests of fiery Controversy."
The argument here is that slavery is bad for white people, good for black people, and most important, better than abolitionism; emancipation must wait for divine intervention. That black people might not want to be slaves does not enter into the equation; their opinion on the subject of their own bondage is not even an afterthought to Lee.
Lee’s cruelty as a slave master was not confined to physical punishment. In Reading the Man, the historian Elizabeth Brown Pryor’s portrait of Lee through his writings, Pryor writes that “Lee ruptured the Washington and Custis tradition of respecting slave families” by hiring them off to other plantations, and that “by 1860 he had broken up every family but one on the estate, some of whom had been together since Mount Vernon days.” The separation of slave families was one of the most unfathomably devastating aspects of slavery, and Pryor wrote that Lee’s slaves regarded him as “the worst man I ever see.”
The trauma of rupturing families lasted lifetimes for the enslaved—it was, as my colleague Ta-Nehisi Coates described it, “a kind of murder.”

This is the most powerful introduction to a documentary film which has ever been made.
I watched this film when it was first put on air, and I have watched it several times since, and I still consider it to be the best documentary film I have ever seen.

I cry at least once every time. Real men can admit it ;-;

As a proud Australian, this remarkable documentary inspired me to learn about the events of the Civil War and the profound impact it had in shaping the American psyche. Simply wonderful!

Ironic that in this moment, the US might be heading towards another civil war, thanks in part to the demonization of anyone who disagrees with Donald Trump and the stolen election lie, by another proud Australian, Mr. Rupert Murdock, owner of Fox News. The Aussies own the US at this point. Thank you Australia. Please take the Murdock family back home.

@ER GoogleChannel And to think - that everything they worked so hard for is being bought and sold by the only 2 political parties allowed to mean anything. People willing to give up their rights over feelings. What would the Founding Fathers have thought today if they heard all the cases against the second amendment? Ridiculous.
lehah
@Vroom and Pew They would first ask why you were killing so many children
