This morning I was reading from another blog and I saw this quote that left me truly amazed.
"If a country develops an economic system that is based on how to pay for the war, and if the amounts of fixed capital investment that are apparent are tied up in armaments, and if that country is a major exporter of arms, and its industrial fabric is dependent on them, then it would be in that country's interests to ensure that it always had a market. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is clearly in the interests of the world's leading arms exporters to make sure that there is always a war going on somewhere."

Now thinking rationally how can a country educate her children not to be violent and not to have shootings at schools and go around with guns in their pockets, when their economy runs on wars, their national sport is a more violent version of european rugby and one of their sources of entertainment is watching wrestling, where people smash chairs, punch and throw other people out of the ring just for the sake of TV entertainment.
