That's arrogant......you presume we know what's best for the planet.
Perhaps its arrogant, but I believe the basic values in the Dec of Ind and Bill or Rights (you know, all men equal, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, rule of law, etc.) are best for the planet.
We will never have reduced defense spending because those of us who are paranoid will insist upon maintaining current levels. Part of the right's furor is that defense spending was reduced under Clinton.
You just said something will never happen, and then pointed out a time when it did. That don't make no sense!
Furthermore, this society is way to aggressive, militaristic and patriarchal to go soft on defense.
The reduction in military spending under the Bush 1 and Clinton years proves you wrong.
Call the police.
Read it again, you are missing the line where in this theoretical example there are no outside regulators, just your family and the wife-beater next door.
If you have three strong adult sons living in your house, and your 98 lb. weakling neighbor beats up his tiny 60 lb. wife in their living room every night, and that's your world (no police or UN or any other outside regulators in this theoretical world), don't you think you (and your sons) have a responsibility to do something to stop your evil, violent neighbor from beating his wife?
Well Tejek, what do you do in this hypothetical scenario (you can't pass the buck to the police)? Do you let your neighbor beat his wife every night, or do you get involved in their business somehow??
