How did this happen?

In 1971 I was convinced that within 50 years all war would become obsolete. I based that reasoning on several things that were happening at the time......the main thing being the amount of young people taking the anti-war issue to the streets of America and other industrialized countries. It just made sense that as those young people grew into responsible adults that they in turn would make sure the earth had less weapons and more love.

It's 40 years later and OMG it turns out that I couldn't have experienced any larger hallucination.

How did this happen?

Did the young conscientious people of the planet all fold their tents or did certain events take place that made people extremely paranoid?

Paranoia leads to many different aggressive roads....one being the accumulation of weapons.

THE ACCUMULATION OF WEAPONS IS THE SINGLE MOST INSANE THING THAT THE PLANET HAS EXPERIENCED SINCE WW l l.

I've pointed this out before but once again it seems vastly important. In 1946 a few countries and a few citizens possessed weapons. Since 1946 not only has the munitions quantity increased a billion fold but the quality has gone completely ape shit.

Individuals can purchase hand held rocket launchers. Countries purchase them by the container load. Drug Cartels can go to industrial trade shows and buy whatever happens to be selling.

A MUNITIONS TRADE SHOW HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SICKEST CONCEPTS EVER DEVISED BY THE HUMAN SPECIES.

I'm fairly certain that small terrorists organizations have led to the paranoia that seems to rest in most of the living rooms of America. We don't get as concerned with other countries who have trained military personal because if push comes to shove we are the main shovees.

It's those assholes, without uniforms, who hide in the storm drains and then surface every so often to cause horror and havoc.

Those guys have made America accept any and all gestures that point toward a NATIONAL WARTIME MENTALITY.

40 YEARS SINCE 1971 AND WE ARE SO HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

And sadly........I'm not really sure what can be done to change that direction.

One of the first things that could happen would be to end any MUNITIONS TRADE SHOW planned for the next ten years. At least make it hard to obtain the items that cause pain and destruction.

Then The United Nations should confront the countries that are manufacturing those items and put everything on hold until the dust settles.....like in 2030.

Then a weapons collection program should be put into place.

We'll need volunteers to go into South America, Africa and Southeast Asia and ask those people to turn in their AK 47's and Hand Held Rocket Launchers.

That might be the funniest thing I've ever written.

The accumulation of weapons on a mass scale is completely out of control and the world has never been more armed than it is today.

How did this happen? Somebody wasn't paying attention and that somebody was
you
and
me.

We voted people into office ( both parties) that are on the payroll of munition lobbyists....and we did so because we wanted protection from Russia in the 50's, China in the 60's and 70's and then dickhead terrorists since 1980.

Do you feel safe and protected?
