i see what all you guys are saying and you all have different points but maybe you should know the reasoning/throught process that led to this idea of mine.

it started when our all unknowledgeable leader john 'lil johnny' howard decided to send another couple of hundred troops over to iraq after promising not to during the last election. so anyway i was stewing over this some and then i started thinking about leukemia (i do a fund raising thing for it each year about this time) and while thinking about this i wondered why we couldnt cure this disease and many others.

one of the reasonings that we couldnt is because so much money is going into pointless trivial exercises like wars and conquests and killing other human beings instead of trying to save many 10s of thousands of lives from many diseases, which if the researchers and scientists had the sought of money spent on wars etc could find cures and preventions for a lot sooner.

so anyway, this line of thinking lead to move above statement in the opening post that we, as humans in a socialization/civilization (to use tecoyah's words) are only good a killing each other.


ok i know all this may be a bit confusing (sorry it is hard to get the thought process down on paper) but i thought id share and see what you guys had to say.
