Humans really do not like the idea that they are just animals. They go to elaborate means to ignore that fact. They invent gods that consider them the favored life on earth, in fact, the reason the earth was created.

Unrestrained capitalism cannot be allowed to prevail. Pure capitalism is completely oriented toward profit. Pure capitalism cares about nothing else. Pure capitalism will: Exploit human resources with a stark result Exploit natural resources without regard for the future Use politicians to pursue foreign resources, urging war where necessary End with the planet devastated and dead…

Religion may be innocent after all. Although religion is often used to control people and direct them to a desired purpose it seems it may be a victim rather than the cause of violence and war. Other philosophies may be innocent as well. The real culprit behind the century upon century of war and violence…
