From an earlier post by Ray:

>>>The U.S. possesses more than 10,000 nuclear weapons (according to the Natural Resources Defense Council). It has spent $7 trillion on their development in the last half-century. Instead of spending $400 billion every year for weapons of mass destruction and to promote militarism...."<<<

Was all that money described above used to keep people employed or unemployed? Is worldwide poverty a kept condition? Or did all of those poor folk in the world simply not have their act together, such they could lift themselves from their bootstraps and link into a defense contract type job, maybe get some days off for Christmas, a few more off for the company July 4th softball picnic, this in the freedom to make bombs?

I'll never ever get past the thought that all of that those seven trillion dollars could have been used in an effort to try and make the world a better place for everyone, not just a few.
