I'm now printing some of these articles and sending them to NaziRepublican Party worshippers. It's working. The finish line is coming in sight, keep the foot on the throttle folks, we are almost back to freedom, then we can restore a free market economy.

I want to relate a graduate level history paper my wife wrote. She researched every war with records. Two facts were clear.

About 100 years ago, wars no longer brought land to reduce overpopulation, because all land was already overpopulated. Gaining territory full of people who speak funny and have a different culture makes things worse, not better.

My wife's research showed that in every war, BOTH sides would have saved money surrendering. Yes, surrendering. Why? Let me relate my neighbor's history.

My neighbor Robert's family has an oral history going back thousands of years. He said they were farmers and ranchers, peaceful and cultured. When the Comanche came through, they surrendered, endured some abuse, but remained a people. They learned to speak Comanche, retaining their language, which is similar to Navajo. When the Apache came through, they surrendered, learned Apache, and remained. When the Spanish came through, they learned Spanish, etc. He said "you anglos haven't been here long, but we surrendered and learned English for while you are here". They surrendered to protect the fields and herds. Robert said they are the same tribe they were thousands of years ago, with somewhat different genes. Robert said to live in the high mountain valley of his people, you have to become their culture.

I think this is true everywhere. Let's end war. Instead of helping expand the slaughter in what sure looks like male chest thumping, in that we are fine killing everyone and destroying everything just to say "this is my land", let's absorb the attackers.

If invaders really are right, and have a better culture, great, we improve. If not, they will become us. Either way, killing isn't the answer.

John Lennon was right, all we need is love. Seriously, it's not a dream, it's correct human behavior.
