RE: This Is Your Brain on Statism
I get so annoyed when I watch American TV shows for two reasons:
- there always has to be some moral that must be taught to the viewer in the most moronic manner.
- the military heroes who die fighting and defending America (while actually in foreign lands against enemies who are vastly under powered in technology). The shows always show these poor heroes fighting against vast numbers of ruthless cruel enemies.
I do not deny that the individual solders are brave in difficult situations, but the lust for oil, not the oppressed civilians, is the driving force of the American Military Industrial Complex.
Forgive me Fred703, but the (north) American military and Law Enforcement "complexes" are comprised of volunteers - men and women who seek and/or are willing to be trained to co-erce, restrain, imprison, inflict violence, and possibly murder others - or turn a blind eye to the co-workers who do.
I did.
