Yet no one dares say this. In a sane nation, we’d be marching on DC to stop these incessant wars. Unfortunately imperialism and arms industry profits rule the day.
The problem seems to be that the people are easily malleable. The politicians buy their votes, the arms industry buys their silence.
Talk about Proportional Representation and lots of people say they don't want it. Why? It's in their best interests. And yet they've never been told to like it, so they don't like it.
I could even go to the dollar bill as an example. Because Massachusetts has the company that makes the material for the bills, they make sure the dollar bills don't disappear. People say they don't want to lose the bills, even though it'd save them money.
Malleable people.
