Lauras War

The war, the constant murder, seems necessary to bring, a cull to the numbers? 7 billion in this spring....:( no pleasure, can of it sing, a bloody awful thing, predators in human form, sort of have me wondering, too much animal in our jeans, so much murder is the cost, perhaps its a survivor gene, fight or flight the bridge is crossed thanks... Laura Breidenthal's War... Don Johnson

What an awesome write Don, tis true we might need war for population thinning! I definitely believe we have an animal instinct within us that triggers at times! A terrible last resort...to murder someone! You have a wonderful way to bring all of this to light! Great Work!!
