The problem is that once you give them all those new toys they just cannot wait to play with them.

We call it an "industry" and say its product is "freedom". When the truth we refuse to face is that its product is death, on a massive scale.

Yeh, but death is freedom.

Exactly right, Dave.

I heard this lyric the other day and can't get it out of my head

"We make war a reality and call peace a dream"


Just think if we did away with most of the soshalist military programs and replaced them with public programs. One would think a good christian patriot would be all for this but for some reason the soshalist military programs and going around the world killing people and making more enemies is the plan they seem to prefer.

And it is all planned and arranged by old men so that the young are the ones destroyed.

Yep. They pump up the young with tales of Gods concurrence, patriotic heroism and American invincibility. Then they go hide in their bunkers until the storm blows over. When it's all over, mothers from the all across America from the trailerparks of West Virginia to the tenements of the innercities and the suburbs that ring them get to mourn their dead children.

Sometimes war is necessary. This is sad, but true. However, it's the flippant attitude and the desire to jump straight into it that some display, that bothers me.
