End Game: The War Machine Goes On

By Arthur D. Robbins, April 20, 2017

To yearn for peace is to embrace war. What we need is a society where war and peace are not two choices, like night and day.

The diet was simple, though eventually, losing one’s teeth helped to move one away from more complex solids.
