Thinking Maybe War Isn't the Answer

MAYBE ITS MICROWAVE RADIATION, and cell phones. Food additives, perhaps. plastic containers are suspect. or maybe its just that most Americans are overworked, sinking further into debt, angry, frustrated. America is a land of alpha males, where is in charge, and must be.hence, our anger. Our cell phones fill us with distant love, and frustration. So often when two American strangers approach and pass each other on the street, there is n o eye contact, no communication, or, when there is, it is cursory, pedestrian, unfriendly. Few smiles are exchanged out on the street, between strangers. A highly competitive society with highly competitive people, because we are taught, trained, brainwashed into being that way. Despite lame attempts by mealy mouth liberals to soften our education indoctrination with such brilliant innovations as no win no scorekeeping baseball, we the America people still rank high on the global scale of competitiveness, in a competitive world. We have a few winners and many more losers. You can actually imagine, in America a civil war between the rich and the poor. You can imagine this because we know it has happened before, with striking regularity, on various scales. Rich Britain and the poor colonies. The rich north and the poor south. The bonus army of 1932, with their cute little invasion of Washington D.C.. Not at all uncommon. But, for the moment, American society strikes me, and maybe other people as well, as angry. maybe some of our anger has been vented in all these many wars we have launched adn lost over the past few decades. problem is, paying for these wars in the future, or trying to find a way to, is not likely to generate anything other than more anger and frustration. So, maybe war isn't the answer.
