Belligerence And Political Pandering: "Will Trump Ride Pentagon Spending To Re-Election?"

Alan: Learn how the "armaments supply chain" induces addiction to "the next slice" of The Belligerence Pie in every one of "the lower 48 states."

The twisted logic of the Military Industrial Complex is that "supply creates demand."

So keep supplying bellicose conflict or the "imminent" threat of conflict.

Mark Twain, Adolf Hitler And The Dunning-Kruger Effect

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2016/01/mark-twain-and-dunning-kruger-effect.html

It is also true that educated people routinely discuss issues in ways that the uneducated will neither "take in" nor understand if they tried to "take them in."

At bedrock, humankind's quandary - specifically as it relates to violence and organized belligerence - distills to stupidity.

Garden variety stupidity.

Education is the antidote.

Blessedly, it is only necessary that a mere majority of people be educated... if that!

Effective educational process could begin with Dr. Seuss' "The Butter Battle Book" and "Yertle The Turtle." Just read them out loud -- and discuss them in class -- every year from kindergarten through high school. On "Dr. Suess Day!" (An aside... In his prophetic "Butter Battle Book," Dr. Seuss satirizes Trump's Wall!)
