It's the best system of "experimental" government ever worked-out, to-date, FB, but "WE" must make these necessary controlled "crash-tests," as (D)iabolical as possible to maintain our nation as the most powerful civilization in history. Hell, "WE" can't wimp-out at every obsolete culture that want's a part of "US;" or "WE" may turn-out like the damn Theocratic Middle East!!! Hummmmmmmmm. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUMP!!!
So your view is we should marginalize every one & only those with the physical means to destroy what & who stands in their way.should have their way.
Well I say one should look closely at just what is going on in the world today.
Since Korea this Nation has stopped fighting wars to win. Wars are fought to t***sfer money to the Military Industrial Complex.
The more money spent is what leaves wars continue.
Count the bodies involved. For every one we Marginalize or k**l there are more joining the fight against That Power.
Pre build up for the War in Vietnam I was in the Army in Hawaii. At that time I was exposed in a very small way to the idea of the US Gorilla warfare training.
We were to fight the way or enemies were fighting. With squads of men fighting as Gorilla's.
After getting out of the services I watched how the war expanded into the all out way of k*****g & watched as the Gorilla Fighters of North Vietnam won.
So If you want to see your sons & daughters die for the Military Industrial Complex It can happen. Along with that, our life's here at home will not be safe.
We are putting it all on the line if we keep escalating the issues.
We need to stop looking as the issue is one of War & look at it is a Police action & treat the bad guys as just common criminals. Just be prepared for more restrictions on your personal freedoms.
The war is not one of curbing the average people of a nation. It is about curbing the powers of the leaders.
We seem to have the cowboy image of the good guy riding in with a White Hat on a White Horse saving the day.
What we really have is some poor souls with mud on their face fighting with out grace. That is a big disgrace.
I just wish to warn any one that pushes that button that the people of that Nation will not hold that person with very high regard after all is said & done.
Even if that side comes out losing the least.
In the mid 1959's they set up an early warning system to alert people of possible attack.
Just like today when that alarm went off in the mid 50'3 when I & my mother were awaken by the alarm At about 3 am one morning when it went off.
I looked at my mother & asked what do we do now? We just went back to bed. Do they still test that alarm ever day at noon on Wednesdays.
I grew so used to it that I seen to ignore it.
Just a bunch of random thoughts.
If we live we will pick up the pieces & put it all back together as best we can. K*****g or being k**led. That seems to be the way most want it to be.
I is just how many chances will it take & will we ever get it right.
I say a good way is to try to do it right now. As most of Us may never have a chance later.
I call the generation I am a part of the lost generation. The generation that seems to have been one of just watching much of what was going on & just missing doing but seeing what was going on. Just being between the bigger issues going on in the last. 80yrs.
But It is a generation that has seen perhaps the greatest gains in life changing events the world will ever see.
We are on the verge of perhaps the single most serious set of life changing events in history.
As a baby born during the depression years & being of the age to personally avoid the harshest parts of the wars going on.
Now as those of Us from those seeming uneventful personal times can be had as we search for answers to problems. Not that our answers will be better but insight that should not be ignored. How did the line from a song go "I can see both sides now".
Chose who you will from that era to listen to. Because life & living it leaves an impact on people. As we pass through life we adjust to the changes. The more changes that needed to be made prepares one to deal with changes.
I think that the best we would have to offer is that this to will pass away tomorrow may be a better day.
