Horses don't behave this way. Different wiring. They run around in herds till they get slow and the wolves eat them, but they don't butcher each other. We do. It's built-in.
War is retarded.
A new era is upon us. Even the lesson of victory itself brings with it profound concern, both for our future security and the survival of civilization. The destructiveness of the war potential, through progressive advances in scientific discovery, has in fact now reached a point which revises the traditional concepts of war. Men since the beginning of time have sought peace.... Military alliances, balances of power, leagues of nations, all in turn failed, leaving the only path to be by way of the crucible of war. We have had our last chance. If we do not now devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door.

as long as the elite retain both their unfluence and power over us, we will continue to fight wars for their interests only and sadly, those interests contradict our own.

I remembered when i went to DC, we went to the FDR memorial, and in blocks in big letters was the phrase "I have seen war. I hate war."
true, all animals kill, but they dont kill their OWN KIND! humans are the one species on this planet that would. they fight others of their species, but that is that. fight. not kill. they do not kill one another because they need one another to survive. like wolves, they only fight to show dominance, but they do not kill each other because they are needed to help hunt so they may eat and survive. they do not overpopulate, but rather stop producing when food becomes scarce. why cannot humans do this? are bacteria that much smarter?

War is as natural as sex or anything else we find ourselves doing in this universe.
