A Truly Just War

I'm dissatisfied with what President Obama calls a "just war." I agree there is such a thing, but Afghanistan is not an example. The only war that is truly just is the war on poverty, unemployment, infant mortality, and ignorance and injustice. That is the war that deserves to be fought with all of the resources we dedicate to violent conflict, and weapon building. Let's wage a war on war with peace, good sense, and education, with the aim of curing the roots of fear and hatred: poverty, insecurity, and injustice.



I'm also very dissatisfied with big bankers and the economy (global and domestic.) There is no value in defrauding a seriously flawed system for personal gain by people who are smart enough to know better (who probably understand the harm they cause, but refuse to acknowledge it while vehemently insisting otherwise; like most criminals attempting to avoid a jail sentence.) I support a just war against the market speculation that is capitalism these days (and before as well, but let's leave history in the past and deal with the now.)  


We need to wage a smarter battle against the enemies of real progress and real value: speculators, usurers, and bankers. Take your money out of the big banks. Speculators need money to play, if you take it away, then the mischievous game is over. They can't be too big to fail if they have no depositors. Support your local credit union and I'll wager they'll support you a whole lot better than the banksters (too big to fail-taxpayer guaranteed-casinos.)
