I would agree, except that it’s almost always the innocent bystanders who get killed in such 3rd world conflicts. It is celebrants in wedding parties and teenagers playing soccer and mothers holding babies walking to the market who get droned, or it is teenage boy soldiers who’ve never fallen in love who seem to get their legs blown off. And worse, the preachers of war and the begetters of armies get continuous adulation and bigger and bigger paychecks. Take John Bolton, for example: he has never been right about anything in his adult life, yet he thrives and grows rich. For there to ever be divine justice, there will first have to be a just divinity.

I've often said that if I ever get to question the "creator" one of my first questions would be "why do you let psychopathic control freak parasites rule the world continually from day one?" I suspect that he/she/it whatever, will place the blame on us. After all, don't we vote them in? Don't we support them? Don't we kiss their asses and lick the boots of their enforcement police?

What worries me is that Hermes Trismegistus was right, “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul….” This cosmos is most similar to a big corporation, and it’s of, by, and for psychopaths. My guess is that if you ever get the chance to pop your question to Him, your new office will be in the sub-basement next to the lava flow.
