My son's over there right now, I wish they would bring all of them home. The only one who win's in War is Peace, so let's just skip the War part.

Captain Dave -

My hopes and best wishes for your son to return safely and soon!

And also a big thank you for serving his country (us).


Family separation during times of war is always a -very- stressful time for families.

Thank you A51Watcher.

My Grandfather served in Japan during WWII, I served during Desert shield/ Desert storm and my Son is in Afghanistan right now. My family has served this country during war for generations dating back to the Spanish American war and beyond...

Theres always a war to fight, because those that don't learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

Aye aye mon capitaine...

but consider this... two children who have never see a sword will  pick up a stick and will play at sword fighting...

War is built into our DNA...  whoever programmed us made sure that it is in our nature

I'd really encourage you to check out Bruce's work, Zorgon.  He has been discovering that what we think of as "fixed human nature," at the most basic level, is apparently not fixed at all.

We have persistent habits, yes; and they can be very deeply ingrained.  They are, however, modifiable.

[micjer]

Perhaps Bruce figured this out when he divorced his first wife!

Just kidding I like Bruce's work.

[PLAYSWITHMACHINES]

Umm, getting back to that 'war is in our DNA' stuff, that may be so, it may even be so that it was done on purpose, but that pre-supposes that we were altered for a purpose. If that is so, & i doubt it, then we still have no idea what that purpose IS....

War has outlived it's usefulness, as has webbed feet & a tail. It might still be in our genes, but if it's used less & less, it will become a 'redundant' gene.
At least,that's all we can hope for, that enough people get to see that....

[zorgon]

They are, however, modifiable.

Of COURSE they are modifiable   Isn't that what conspiracy nuts are saying da Gubment is doing with all that Mind Control?  Modifying?

[PLAYSWITHMACHINES]

Yes, but can we not do a little modification of our own?

Once you know your own mind, you can modify it at will....

[zorgon]

Yes, but can we not do a little modification of our own?

Sure we can... the QUESTION is who gets to modify WHOM and for what reason

One example of this  Zeta Talk modified peoples behavior to think the world was ending in 2003. So those modified thinkers went out and sold everything and bough bunkers...

So maybe we can modify people to send all their GOLD to Pegasus so we can get some real work done

But seriously... maybe people just want to live their life without fear that SOMEONE ELSE wants to reprogram them to their way of thinking

Working on that tonight, Z...

Brilliant L.E.
And Z;

Produced a good choking fit, that one...

That's right, the trick is to do that without letting them know it.
Let them think THEY are doing it
I know it's subterfuge, but it works
Pretty soon they WILL be doing it.....
