Interesting article..
This, I feel would make an interesting concept to discuss with your kids. In college, (sociology), our professor was big on making us realize the standard "training" exercise governments and big business use to make us k**l each other;
Make the "invented" enemy appear just.. a.. bit.. less.. than.. human. By "teaching" this, it's easier to convince the people they, ( the "enemy" ), just don't quite deserve to live. Basically, it sooths your innate revulsion over k*****g/raping/destroying. Works pretty well, huh?
