Good luck with that wish

because the scum at the top of our government are capable of the worst kind of manipulation of the public. There is so fucking much money to be made off of continual warfare that an enemy will continually be created. It's easy to believe we've had periods of time where we lived in relative peace but it's only an illusion. We've managed to find ways to insert ourselves into foreign entanglements nearly the entire 20th Century and I see no end in sight for the next. Sometimes the actions are overt as in large scale conflicts like WWII and Vietnam but mostly they're under the radar like the horrible manipulations we've been engaged in in Central and South America.

Eisenhower, although guilty of the abuses himself during his reign, had an epiphany in his later years and warned of the terrible potential. If only we'd have listened.
