Where has all the funding gone, long time passing into the support of commodities and pork barrel projects, created to addict and control the market share of corporations who lobby your tax dollars to be expended on providing soft drinks, cigarettes, beer, candy and the myriad of comfort products provided at high profit to the war machine which keeps your kids addicted to the corporate culture of excess right up to the moment they are shipped home in a body bag and replaced by a fresh six pack of team players barely over the legal drinking and driving age, provided only with the education and life experience of your average high school football player, trained to kill his opponent rather than tackle them.

Even the smartest most capable individual can be sold a bill of goods intelligently designed and marketed to mold them into the goose stepping flock of peer pressured, reactive fight or flight group and mob mentality, do-gooders who follow the faith, when their collective intellect, patriotism or religion is called into question.

Especially when it seems that no other opportunity or avenue of choice is open or available to them. Which is exactly the situation created by the meager funding of social services, education, health and job training opportunities in this country, which holds claim to the most wealth and power on the planet and spends over 60 percent of that wealth on preparing for and waging war.

This amounts to nothing more than on going funding theft by the fortune 500, of the home of the brave, land of the free, breeding ground of cowboy, cannon fodder, which will never be the dream it aspires to, until the education and opportunity of all is equal to and surpasses the excess of the few.

Cold War, Hot War, World War, all have two things in common,
The Profits of War and the Terrible Cost of the Sacrifice of Youth.
