Mr. Grey - Because the world is full of humans who want more for themselves and for their families. They want a better life, They want to get out of the gutter or living and living on the street. They want the refigerator full of food, a full gas tank, a clean bed to sleep in, a big screen TV................. I want this for myself and my family as I am sure you do to.
Then there are those that want to take what you have away from you and have it for themselves. There are those who want it given to them via a hand out because they think they deserve it or it is there rite.
To protect what you have and your way of life, to grow as a society and grow beyond were we are today, swords must be rattled, and unfortunately blood must be spilled.
If we accepted a world were everyone was the same, weer there was no ebb and flow of econimies, no changes int he way of life, there would be no growth, not just as an ecomomy but as growth of the human race. We would be stagnet dieing soceity. There are areas of the world that are like that. No growth, no changes, conituing to live in a desperate, stagnet state of being. Even in those areas there is opresion. Someone wants the power / money and spills blood to hold onto it.
The world is not perfect, the US or any other country or goverment is not perfect. I spend alot of time in Southeast Asia, China,Japan and the Philipines. Everyone I know there points out the flaws of the US, but when I ask them were they would like to live in the US all of them answer without hesitation YES. When I ask why, the typical answer is to make money and provide for their families. We are far from perfect but this type of discusion would not be allowed in allot of the places I go.
Enough of Baseball, Apple pie and the American Dream.
