I’m okay with that. Who doesn’t want a good war now and again?
I sure do. You just asked a very good question, mate. The answer is we all should. Speaking a his iconic character on ST Voyager, John Delancie said war can be an engine of change and he was right. We brought down slavery, oppression and social engineering through the last two world wars and the war in Iraq helped diminish the power of terrorism. It's a lack of open armed conflict that's made the world's population in places too high. Peace has burgeoned our numbers, made the privatization of life so important that some have gotten soft. I mean, in my town, the tax returns from people working here is so low that without the independent businesses, the tax system could collapse. Commerce of household items like televisions, tablets and smart phones have made some people more complacent and afraid of loosing what they have. In the past, we didn't rest on our luxury so much and the world was a more balanced place. We weren't so self-indulgent and we learned to value what we had and stand up for it.
Now, there is the idea that we don't need to do that anymore because life is so easy, so easy there is no reason to get into a dispute of any kind.
