Ok, addendum if i may.
I would not extend that to children, children have no control over the decisions of their parents.
HOWEVER ... those parents themselves bring the "death" onto their offspring, karma is a great big wheel that turns, and you cannot ignore it because you are well paid and can claim scientific objectivity.
Perhaps i am wrong, but we as parents must choose our own lives wisely, and in a manner that will reflect well for our children. We leave them inheritances ... who would want their child to inherit VX nerve gas? Really, who?

Just a thought, the war machine doesn't appeal to me either. i think the leaders who disagree with each other, should be put together in a room and work out any differences they have over a big bowl of celery (i hear it has a calming effect). it isn't everyone else's fault that the big guys can't get along with each other. why does it always require full scale war. why not give each leader a paint gun and who ever emerges from the arena with the least amounts of hits, wins lol
HOWEVER, (here comes reality), because countries have to protect themselves from each other, the military will be required it's just a fact of life. to blame it on the people who do the work (the janitor, the secretary, the doctor,, the red cross, the linguist, etc) but don't make the decisions, is shooting yourself in the foot because any monies or goods you contribute to your society, invariably supports the military of the country you're in.

It was azazel taught men the art of war. No, no military. Just more maturity, at grass roots level. We have such messed up conceptions of normal ... we buy our kids toy guns, and allow violent movies!! No, not normal. All cultures have a violent side, but how long can we call ourselves civilised and still perpetuate the madness of war?
Conspiracy? For sure. Hidden? Not so much. Depends i guess on how big your picture is, and how sure you are of it. It's earth ... and aliens ... and us. The aliens are long known to us, since before us even, they're as much stuck here as we are. The rules are the same though, consent, although trickery is fair.

Zorgon - I am a military type and I am also "We The People" too - I am still part of the human collective and I worry about chem and bio hazards on a personal level that you will never understand. I do not think this is chicken little at all - as a matter of fact I understand that a lockdown of this nature for so long was not just a missing tool incident or situtation normal.
Military types are also concerned. We are vast in number and diverse. Some even vote for democrats! We are all colors, and a lot of shapes despite physical fitness requirements. We are straight and we are gay. We worship or don't worship a variety of Gods and dieties. We are high school drop outs and Ivy League educated. We are all these things, and we have families that live in the world too. Nobody to include 99% of the troops enjoy War. We serve for a variety of reasons, and are far from a brain washed subculture. Don't be so ugly.edit on 27-1-2011 by TheBirdisDone because: (no reason given)
