Someone whose name I cannot recall made the profound observation that the greatest waste was war. I am sure there have been other philosophers who made the same observation. The observer stated that fabulous young men and women, which are our primary resources, were poured down the hole of war. The writer also talked about the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Middle East, the Korean War, the Latin-American War, the burning of our own ghettos, and noted that as soon as one war is over, we get ready to find a new enemy so we can continue the mindless wasting.

Has anyone noticed the profound ignorance of the Republican candidates? President Obama has been extremely destructive, but there is no way he can be defeated in the upcoming election. He is a nice guy who is somewhat self-effacing, and he will prevail regardless of which doofus the Republicans put up in opposition. Ron Paul has the only freedom agenda on the horizon, and he has no chance of getting elected because he is vilified every step of the way. I hope a few people at least listen to his philosophies. Perhaps (not likely), some people will understand liberty and freedom.
