Well, how else can they test their ordnance… it creates a fearful audience. And tanks or muskets, spears or axes, what a great excuse for taxes. Fine write GW

They once showed a commercial that had two "diplomats" taking off their tuxes and facing off in a fist fight to resolve their differences. The delimma is that those that start'em.... don't fight'em

How can you kill another who's someone's wife sister, brother or mother especially a person you don't know please explain and plainly show. How and why is this so? Who could possibly understand the how and why of that,? Gershon

You only think of the 'person' as 'the enemy.' Gotta dehumanize him before you can kill 'em. Otherwise, you can't do it. ~ Just tellin' the truth
