    Default World War I was not the 'war to end all war,' but it was the beginning of the end

    Interesting article in USAToday.




    I think the title is a mistake. Should've read "Since the End of WW II".

    The left and right believe each other are now a bigger threat to the country than any foreign power (IMO).

    Outstanding observation. It is happening. It mystifies me why not many are smart enough to see it.

    Bizarrely, it dropped off once the U.S. invented nukes.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
