5. What in the world gives you that idea?

I mean aside from a twee song by John Lennon.

Sadly, the world usually doesn't work the way we want it to, and instead we have to operate with the framework we have. Such as... people live in tribes. People have conflicts. Violence is easy. Things like this are just the state of the world, and while we can sit back and cluck our tongues, we also need to realize we're not any better; we just have different concepts of what makes a "tribe" and seem to believe that using flying robots to murder other tribes is somehow more acceptable than hitting them in the face with a machete.
