Funny how backthen, it didn't seem worth one more life, but throw in a couple gazillion dollars for Halliburton (spell) and Cheney's ready to sacrifice some thousands of American lives and countless Iraqis. Wait. Do Iraqis count as human lives?

Maybe war is nature's way of controlling the Earth's population. Just imagine if half of those wars never happened. How many additional humans would be running around the planet. And what's interesting is over 90% of those lives lost must have been male. However, it's about 49/51 male/female in the world today. Interesting.

Good point Casper and an interesting question.

However, I must admit, when I first saw your name I thought:

"Oh God, he's going to find a way to blame the 13 million killed by Stalin on Fiddy and T.I."

Most of these people died for economic reasons.

There are better ways to cull population right ? Like not having that many in the first place.

The world is over populated by at least 3 billion people currently.

Crash test ahead.

"Most of these people died for economic reasons."


Yeah. Maybe. In a superficial neo-Malthusian sense, that is one way to look at it.

But it's a bit deeper than a balance sheet of natural resources or even 'energy credits'.

What motivates some men to kill millions of men women and children is a satanic like spiritual narcosis.

I would just call it brain washing.

In a way it could be called 'devil worship', in the sense that Babylon, in a time and place, constructed the template that society is using now, and society operates out of that method, and that method no longer works.
The Jews, and others then further spun that original method to their purposes, which mostly were not for the better. Hence the bigotry of religion.
While we were stuck with that method, we now have a choice to not use it.
-- The prisoners of this system uphold that system though, and believe it to be reality.
We still operate directly from the Sumer creation myth, and the later law codes from Mesopotamia.
-- If we want to survive into the future that whole system must be abandoned because it is going to kill us all or most of us shortly.

A technate only applies to North America, and energy accounting is based on energy units, or certificates, not credits.
Q must follow P, and credit would include also debit, and that is a money concept, and not applicable to Technocracy.
No charity is used in that system.
Every member of society has access to what they need in context of the availability in the resource base.
Any thing short of that is only another Price System.
