Hawk, that's quite a claim: <Some people believe that there is NOTHING that merits going to war. We all have to set our own threshold levels and apparently my thresholds are quite a bit lower than everyone elses.. > I'm quite keen on stopping people being criminals on a national basis as well as personal basis. I put a fair bit of effort into act.org.nz which is gung ho on stopping criminals. Okay, it's true that you have actually been in conflict and much more readily than me, but as a supporter, I'm enthusiastic about stopping bad guys and keeping them in cages, or using them for body parts, or cat food [maybe they'd have to go to the zoo as domestic pets might be too fussy]. But I'd move up the production line and see why there are so many evil-doers being produced in the first place, rather than run a zoo-food industry at the end of a ruinous system. Rather than have wars and prisons and meat works, it's better to civilize people and have Libertarian philosophical values rather than warmongering property thieves like Geode rampaging over the landscape, causing misery and carnage. We need to educate people like that properly in the first place to rid ourselves of conflict and wars. Weirdly and perversely, they think of themselves as the good guys. Strange, but true. Osama doesn't think he's an evil doer. He thinks he's on the right track AGAINST the evil-doers. Somebody has their wires crossed. I think it's Geode, Saddam, Osama and the Iranian Islamic Jihadis.
