How has it been a sacrifice on your behalf? ..and if you do something in exchange for their services, can it really be called a sacrifice? > > I had taken that down and made a couple of other page changes just > today only because it had been up for a couple of months, now I'm > thinking I'll put it back up. > > Unfortunately, your politics precludes your humanity.

Didn't they know what might happen to them physically? ..putting this discussion back up would be a wise thing, considering that acquiring more 'free' energy, before acquiring a stable emotional base, could be self-defeating.. ..Politic = city, Soldier = to pay. How do they mesh? ..If humanity gives impetus to politics, then politics should have humanities interests at heart. And if so, then leader/follower, as in politics/military/soldier/human-sacrifice, is relative to the resultant conditions of said soldier, which is a part of the whole of humanity. Therefore humanity is directly affected by politics. Which means politics results in the effects experienced by the human-soldier. This applies to the soldiers financial situation as well. Also, if said soldier was not performing for 'sacrifice' then said soldier was doing it for financial gain, or joy. ..A sold-ier supposedly pays for the 'defense' of the city? If a soldier is not getting the support it needs from the city it 'defends', there must be a reason. This brings up the humanitarian motive, supposedly felt, and thereby motivating said war. This implys analysis of the motivation for war(politics), as well as the financial situation(a payed for meal) of said soldier. > > Anonymously buying them a meal is simply a matter of personal > kindness that has nothing to do with politics but you have at least > one axe and I suspect many more to grind, that limits your ability > and willingness to see beyond your political views. ..there appears to be a mirror effect going on here.. > > Its not a big deal to spring for a lunch or dinner...maybe you are > just cheap?
