re: #193 Dr Lizardo

Don’t forget there was a good deal of interconnection between the European economies prior to WWI; it didn’t stop them from marching off to annihilation.

Sometimes, people get these ideas into their heads and just say, “Fuck it….let’s kill ‘em all” and the next thing you know, armies are being mobilized, bombs are falling and the bullets are flying.

Or as Stephen King once put it, “The red balloon goes up and the Big Hot One gets started.”

Well that and the fact that familial ties didn’t seem to matter much to Nicky, Georgie, and Willi. It’s frustrating. Every day I feel conflicted about how we are as a people. You see such genuine acts of kindness and then acts of genuine evil.
