Well Memorial Day brings the usual crew out

It's like veteran's day...

Still, perhaps it is my nihilist side, or the study of chimps and other critters on this world that ALSO go to war. Folks, I know we all would love to forget about war, and put it into our past... what if it is encoded? Look, fact is chimps go to war, and so dolphins... it is just a fact. And the historic pattern with humans is that we go to war, and our kids don't... now our grandkids... well you know honor and glory and all that.

Some nations (read empires) go to war more often. It is just the nature of being an Empire, but fact is... humans go to war. We are tribal (you might want to call it nationalism, but it is the tribe) and we will fight for resources. Whether those resources are hunting grounds way in the past, or water rights today...

Not that I wish to get rid of this war forever... today I had a dream that all nations would make war no more... but if this is encoded... evolutionary... well then, I have then no hope that we will be able to overcome our nature. So to those of you who think that we can rid of the military, I wish you luck... but somehow I don't think so at this point...and we are like all other species, hi order species on the face of this planet. The only thing that makes us different, is that our tools are better for the job at hand... but Chimps don't use tools! I can hear it now... au contraire mon ami, they do.

I know miss sunshine should be my middle name at this point. So go ahead, call me that way. I will not deny it.
