In my post about the Civil War, Mark left a comment to the effect that we did not learn much from the war and I agree with him. It is my thinking that making war is a natural state of humans; we want to study war but to forget lessons. We are the only species that collectively makes war for any reason or for no reason. I don’t know if the primitive ancestors of modern humans waged war without cause, but I believe that only a large-brained species capable of logical thought would do such a thing. I do not think it is possible for homo sapiens to not make war on each other; it is a part of our evolutionary makeup and can only end when we evolve into a new homo whatever. The need for war may be so deeply imbedded into our brain stems that evolution cannot erase it and in fact, we may become more warlike in our next incarnation as a species. First, however, we must survive before we can evolve, and the way we go about killing each other for no reason may prove to make it a moot point; maybe monkeys will have to start evolving all over again. If my theory is not the case, then God must be playing one hell of a game with his children as pawns.
I wager that at least some of the children in the video will someday find themselves on some foreign soil trying to kill other people for reasons they will never fully understand. We are what we are.

Speaking of children: “New statistics from the national Feeding America network of Second Harvest food banks show 30.8 percent, or nearly one-third, of children in Northeast Tennessee do not have enough food to eat due to limited family income and lack of access to resources.”
We The People feed children in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq better than we nourish our own. Wake up America! Read more: http://www.johnsoncitypress.com

The photo is a quick snapshot of five-year-old Breanna modeling “Ganny” Carolyn’s glasses. Bre is my first cousin twice removed but she considers Carolyn and I as another set of grandparents. I hope she knows no war.
