Any arrogance you detected was not arrogance, but rather anger and distain. Your cold reference to the calculation of the loss of life as being some kind of acceptable investment is what set the original mood.

You said: “True. Also far lower in human cost as well and a much higher potential return for our investment. But we’ll keep that secret because we don’t want to offend the sensitive bleeding hearts on this board.”

The notion that somehow you are part of the elite who will benefit from the investment of lives is laughable (”our investment”). You are nothing more than an animal on their farm. However it is useful for you to believe and be made to believe otherwise. I just found your original comment sickening and unfortunately very representative of a small segment of the population who has been tricked into thinking because they have a modest portfolio, a home, or just see themselves as better off than most that they are somehow connected and part of the ruling elite class in this country, or that the ruling elite class gives a shit about them (it is laughable). My only conclusion is that the view stems from somekind of selfishness and fear. If you find war and killing such a great investment why don’t you offer yourself up for the sacrifice instead of sucking off the lives of others?

Instead of harping on the comment you originally made and perhaps calling you a name and running off I offered up infomation and evidence that I thought might awaken you (now or in the future).

You said, “since your mind is effectively closed until Ron Paul gives you another talking point to research there isn’t really much point in talking to you”. …. common man that is your sorry attempt (slipped into your last post) to try to say I don’t think for myself, that is kindergarten level bs. My foundation was set long before I encountered Ron Paul. And just like all the rest of your replys which were empty, so is this one. You didn’t respond directly to one thing I posted in this series of posts, nothing. “one thing said in the first minute and a half that goes against a fundamental understanding of economics”. What the hell am I suppose to do with that?

I hope at some point you will rethink your view about the value of life. I often feel that people value the lives of others in the same manner in which their value their own. I took the time to write because of your original comment. I recognized thought patterns I have seen before, both in many others I have met and in myself when I was younger, more selfish and did not have a larger view of the world.
