After a key German victory on the battlefield, an American military adviser congratulated Otto Von Bismarck and said, "You have won a great victory. But it is not enough to defeat your enemy, you must annihilate them. Until the skyline is black with the smoke of burning French villages, you will not have succeeded." As no one knows from American History as taught in state schools, that American adviser was General Phil Sheridan. Along with General William Sherman, who deliberately shelled the civilian population of an undefended Atlanta and then reduced much of Georgia and South Carolina to rubble, Sheridan was a practitioner of Abraham Lincoln's policy of total warfare. Sheridan made his contribution to the new American way of warfare by laying waste to Northern Virginia. He did so to such an extent that the 1870 census still showed 10% fewer people than had lived there before the war. Sheridan and Sherman, after the defeat of the Confederacy, employed their skills waging total warfare against the Native American nations of the great plains. It is not certain whether the statement, "The only good Indian is a dead Indian," was first coined by Sheridan or Sherman. Both used the term with relish. Of course, the annihilation of the plains nations started before the arrival of Sheridan and Sherman. While those two were scourging the Confederate civilian population, Lincoln's armies still found time to carry out two of the three largest massacres of Native Americans: The Bear Creek Massacre of 1863 and the Sand River Massacre of 1864. This devotion to redemptive violence was passed on with many junior officers in the attacks on Native Americans being senior officers in the U.S. Army suppression of the Philippines at the end of the nineteenth century. Hundreds of thousands of Philippine civilians died in that suppression. Sadly, belief in violence has continued to grow in our culture. We do, indeed worship Marduck. Perhaps we can rename the Lincoln Memorial as The Temple of Marduck and throw in some statues of Sheridan, Sherman and other disciples violence. At the least, we can get the name of Marduck on a coin like Caesar. Then we can ponder how to "Give unto Marduck that which is Marduck's and give unto other Gods whatever is left."

Our DNA got us to a pretty advanced stage, I would say. So, if we ARE headed down (which I can't argue against), then SOMETHING MUST HAVE CHANGED.<br />(hint: part of the change was giving women the vote).

Literally can not remember when one member, not recognized a possessed by daemons, struck, let alone killed another, or when the tribe settled a dispute with a neighbouring tribe by violence.<br /><br />the other tribe is violent. Status and women accrue to the most violent members.<br /><br />Within a few years, but less than 10, and probably less than 5, which culture do you think will still be around? Support this idea evidence.<br /><br />Also do a search on the two words, orwells boot. Almost without exception, that 6000 word article, will be the first one listed after paid links on almost all search engines, usually under the name factotum666. I would love to hear of any evidence or logical arguments that shows my premise is wrong. To wit. That evolution works to make humans stupid and obedient to authority. <br /><br />A chief reason for wanting to hear evidence against my argument is that I am well aware that if we are to survive as a 1/2 way decent culture we need to move away from hierarchical / testosterone poisoned systems to more feminine networks.
