If you've traveled enough, you've probably noticed the huge disparity between your experience with other cultures, and the world as seen through the lens of "Brown People You Should Hate This Week News" (A.K.A Fox News). The more I travel, the more my belief that all people generally want the same things, and that all thriving communities are grounded in the elevation of the "we" over the "me", strengthens. The more technology allows us to connect and understand one another the less conflict we'll see. Our biggest hurdle though: Our Trillion dollar defense budget is predicated on having a boogie man under the bed. Evil doers hell bent on eating our children and destroying America. The share holders at Allied Defense require an enemy to fight. You might notice the weapons these Boogie men use are always American made.. You might notice that their money comes mostly from out biggest "Allies" in the area (Saudi Arabia)... ISIS is like the seed cockroaches a shady exterminator brings into your building so he's guaranteed another visit and a another pay day. ISIS gets paid when they make enough trouble to keep 51% of the US voting public scared. Since only 60% of the US population is allowed to vote, and voter turn out is only around 48% They only need to be scary to about 15% of the US populous to keep their business plan functioning and keep their brand strong : https://www.youtube.com/...
