As PO'd American noted above and my Sociology prof told me once "people that cause problems re produce at much higher rates than people that solve problems. Sometime in the future, we will be ass deep in problems." Boy, was he right.

But I remain concerned that there are too many people who are convinced that "War Will Never Happen Again!" And so they loll along in their comfortable lives, confident that they will never be required, personally, to shoot or be shot at by a determined foe.<br /><br />I wish they were right; but I suspect they are wrong. I pity them for the Rude Awakening which will catch them so grievously unprepared.<br /><br />Which does not speak well for our odds of winning another war.<br />Ever again.Jerry The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181610016755426448noreply@blogger.com
