I live in a world where every day the headlines are filled with doom and gloom. In my world, a government doesn't blink at the idea of lying the country into war. And in my world there are politicians who take rewriting history to the level of art; the Ministry of Truth only wished they could be as good at political cover-ups, sanitizing and spinning the truth. When I'm channel-surfing, I see the same news story covered as exactly opposite reports. Now common sense would tell you they can't both be right; so does it come down to who spent the most money to tell their version of the truth?
And since when is it okay that our government is for sale?
We have technology whose only purpose is to kill more people more efficiently. From drones that safely kill enemies at a distance, to nuclear...
We have a society that looks the other way, a society that justifies anything if it makes money for somebody.
We have countries that see slaughtering their own citizens, who inconveniently happen to have different political views, as today's pest control operation.
And while we're at it, let's just poison the earth, air, and oceans so we can make a few more dollars, okay? Cut corners building and maintaining a nuclear power plant in the heart of an earthquake zone so we can make more money? No problem. Kill a dozen or two oil workers or coal miners to make more money more quickly? Sounds like a plan to me. Need more oil and oil money? Let's go take over a country.

World War II WW II Manhattan Project: Begun in 1939, this project was the codename for the United States' secret Atomic Bomb project. With America's entry into the war, the project grew substantially and ultimately involved more than 125,000 people, 37 separate installations, 13 university laboratories and a number of the nation's top scientists. (History.com: "World War 2: Atomic Bomb") In 1942 the project was put under the control of the U.S.
World War II -- a Catastrophic Event that Changed the World What was the most crucial and important cause of World War II? It would be fair to look to the Nazis and Hitler's fanaticism as the most crucial and important cause of World War II. And certainly historians and scholars have few doubts as to Hitler's accountability in the tragic, bloody and catastrophic slaughter in Europe. But what were the events

World War I Dearest Albert: Hopefully, this letter finds you in better health and fully recuperated from your wounds. How very proud you must be of your medals and of your heroism in the line of fire. The boys here at home all wear theirs to social affairs, and I must admit to my private jealousies at the attention they get, not just from the ladies, or during parades, but also from
