I think Ron Kovic, and Oliver stone, in the movie Born on the Fourth of July would like a birthday present of America using its massive brain power to follow the advice of Dennis Kucinich to establish a Department of Peace.

War is beyond hell, it is always bankrupting and there are better ways.

The huge battles that are threatening our own lower borders and any city that thinks they can control their gangs are more important. We, as humans need to look to see what causes war and get over it.

All the rhetoric comes down to this: old farts use young people to do what they themselves are unwilling to do to get things they are not entitled to. Whether "defending" those being taken over or not, why not just allow them to come out and leave those who want it all to have it all, but cut off completely. They will find soon that it is not so great being king when all the subjects are gone or are busy killing each other off.

Working with gangs, this becomes very obvious. Most gang members see themselves as defending not as offensive. It is time to just stop. Whether globally, or internally as a country or just a state, we have enough space to live and let live.

We have to change some things, everyone who pays taxes and works needs to have protections. No more all the wall street bad boys, much as the Hollywood bad kids leading the pack.

We need some better ways of dealing than the cheats, and jerks who live off those suckers born every minute as the old con man saying goes. What is the glory, as a nation, or an individual, to cheat, be corrupt, or take advantage of others.

We need to figure it out, so most of us can live in peace and help each other out when we need it, just in case we ourselves might need some help, even if we are too selfish to help others because it might just be the right thing to do. Be nice and make sure everyone is cared for, because you just might be in that train one day.

I bet old Bernie is wishing he had done a bit more to upgrade the prison systems since he is going to spend the rest of his life there.
