Reagan was right

No peace in the world. Sexual combat, political disagreements, Russia/Ukraine, Uganda/gays, Arizona/gays, Russia/gays, for/against pipeline, Venezuela/?, Trade agreements, global warming, and if my fingers won't so tired, I could come up with another pageful...

If we had a common enemy, like an alien invasion, we'd all band together, like Reagan said.

I am so tired of all the bickering, fighting, etc.

Make it go away.

How happy everybody was because the gays finally had gotten some laws on their side?

Does nothing last . . .

I don't think it will be any different if the conquerors are human or alien.

Children are innocent
A teenager's fucked up in the head
Adults are even more fucked up
And elderlies are like children

Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done

We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they
Ever did

We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets

We will make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We will make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets

I don't think it's going to catch on or go viral, but it does give food for thought tucked in the brain somewhere...

Thanks...

I see you are not new, but I thought you were; for some reason. I misread "reply 14" for 14th post.

There sure is a difference.

I am getting so old.

It's all good. I'm mostly a lurker anyway, but I've been here forever.

"You're only as old as you feel". Me, I alternate somewhere between 3 and 127 depending on the day. It's not so bad.

There were plenty of people and groups who he was more than happy to exclude from being treated as human beings. Christ,I never thought I'd see a "Reagan was right" OP on DU.

Remember Nafta?

And Reagan was addressing the UN, not the Rotary Club. Russia, people crossing the wall, those were different times. So many countries behind the Iron Curtain wanted freedom and were kicking their heels about it.

Nancy said ketchup was a vegetable? Feel better now?

With all the fighting going on in the world the root cause is either Corporations and or Religion

Religion is the main reason given for it, but corporations are the enablers who provide groups the platform to spread hate, and then sell weapons, sometimes to both sides of an issue, to any extreme right-left-wing group or government to make kill and make war.

Moderation and peace efforts have somehow become synonomous with cowerdice and lack of judgment.
