The US Constitution's Second Amendment on the 'Right to Bear Arms'

[Keith Millea]

OK reality says the start was 1945 but that was a French choice to kill "colonials", inferior "gooks" for Empire and Michelin Rubber Corporate interests based in France.

Yeah the Yanks told the Brits, the French and the Dutch where to get off spending American blood for elite empires in 1941. The Atlantic Charter.

Yeah,but my last operation in Vietnam was called "Operation Atlas Wedge".The 7th NVA division and support groups thought they were going to set up camp in the Michelin.We chased them out,but we still spilt American blood for the French.

And,for those who don't know.The South Vietnamese and French rubber owners paid a tax to the VC/NVA to not destroy the plantation.And,we had to reimburse the owners for any rubber trees that we destroyed.

Wars may glow but commerce still flows!

[Jim Hackett II]

War never changes.
Old farts promote it but the young pay the bill.

So now I am an old fart myself... the words of my Father come back to me. It is all a game for the powerful to play and for the powerless to have to live.

When will the US ever learn to abandon Empire? When will they ever learn?

Oil keeps flowing out of the South China Sea. The same resources that the Japanese used from Java and the Siam that are "new discovered" in 2010 by Shell Oil. The commerce is the reason for war sometimes.

If China or India or anyone else threatens the anticipated Opium production of Myanmar/SW China, I expect more war in that "CBI" theater in the future.

Commerce flows even in war - business is business.
This is a bleak concept and a bankrupt world view.
