Rapaire, thank you for your observations, and the song, which I had never read before.

This is something I really can't argue with you. There is a basic difference in our philosophies which can not be changed here, nor need we.

My views are only based on a wish-that one day there will be no need for a military because humanity has stopped being aggressive.

But this, most sadly, isn't going to happen. It's too embedded in our DNA.

Thanks again for your posts... they are always thoughtful and interesting.
