Friends,
[ …. I started writing this blog to reflect upon my last blog topic and the comments. Unfortunately, my research brought up footnote one. And I noticed that last century was much worse than I had realized. It was (I believe) the most barbaric century in the history of man …. ]
{My research so saddened me, I had to quit writing this blog post. In the back of my mind, I knew it was bad. But, until I researched for this post, I hadn’t actually faced the numbers myself.}

I find it intriguing how quickly America is devolving. Disintegrating might be more appropriate, but I do not think our society is actually disintegrating. Maybe we are segregating again, but even that I think is a smaller part of the problem than our devolving.
For centuries the evolution of mankind has been touted as the greatest thing to happen on Earth in eons. However, eugenics soon raised its ugly head and encouraged world-wide calamities and at least one world war.
More people were killed, because enlightened men evolved, during the last century than probably all religious wars (1).
Let me point out the obvious, because we seem to ignore it so often in today’s world, most wars of ‘Religion’ are not about religion. Most wars of Religion are about greed and the expediency of taking what someone else has. It is easier to steal when invoking the name of a ‘god’ than when ‘he’ is not invoked.
In America, we have been insulated from the savagery around us.
The source indicated that a population roughly the size of the USA today has been murdered by governments during the last century. And this excludes WAR!!! (2)
Ironically, he seemed to forget about Saddam Hussein ….
