Lol, true! But, here's the deeper thought: what if, as Nation States, and as People, we all worked to move towards "burying the war club," underneath the "peace tree?"

The Iroquois Confederacy went from all out destructive war mode to a peaceful society that only engaged in war defensively. Peace spread across the entire North Eastern 1/4th of what became the U.S.A. and parts of Canada. What those intelligent and wise peoples did, we can too.

Endless war is neither necessary or sane. Our culture is much, much too violent. We endlessly watch violence. Promote aggression. Incarcerate millions, and spend vastly too much of our societal resources, human and financial, on how to destroy other human beings and Mother Earth.

It's endlessly destructive and will eventually "end" us, if we cannot grasp that this addiction to war, aggression and endless, mindless competition is inherently a dead end road.

Men need Women, and a Woman's perspective.

And in a whole and healthy woman War's insanity is obvious. Just as it is to a wise and balanced Man.

Jesus preached peace. As did Buddha and all our enlightened teachers. It's about time we took that message seriously, and even though you cannot get from here to there overnight, we still need to arrive at the destination.

Benjamin is trolling,

he’s not interested in deeper thoughts.

He’s busy with his one two liner comments to provoke agitation among primarily a good wholesome group.
