Never my intent.<br /><br />I do remember "A Taste of Armageddon". Originally created (as I recall) to protest the horrors of nuclear war but equally applicable to almost anything anymore: we seldom dwell on the true nature of things anymore, only on the sanitized media version.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-62310417551961421522017-02-12T09:46:53.720-08:002017-02-12T09:46:53.720-08:00What a splendid thought Pete.

I think that was a warning about letting technology fight the wars and people not seeing the worst of war; though now, people have become desensitized to the horror, I think, thanks to movies, TV shows, etc. <br />And the insensitivity to abortion.<br /><br />My brother unfriended me because I don't believe in Gay marriage. He occasionally talks to me, but we are still mostly not talking. I wrote to him and tried to explain my side, and I apologized if I upset him; but we are not as close as we once were.<br /><br />So yes, I understand where you are coming from.<br /><br />You all have a blessed weekend. ^_^LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-32258239374632364572017-02-10T10:22:41.829-08:002017-02-10T10:22:41.829-08:00Computers give us the ability to make mistakes at ...Computers give us the ability to make mistakes at astounding speeds. Not only have they given Americans the ability to influence each other; they have also given people around the world the ability to, both positively and negatively, influence US.<br /><br />Technology is like fire; its an enemy or a friend, depending on how it is or isn't controlled. History and human nature both dictate that this will not end well...Peteforesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702888855868877243noreply@blogger.com
