Welcome to the boards my newfie friend. I'll be coming out to the east coast this fall for university :jointsmile:

My life changed a lot after I took some philosophy classes as well, so I know exactly where you're coming from.

My view always comes down to reciprocity and love. Since we are conscious beings with the gift of intelligent language, we have options besides murder. It seems basic to not kill so you yourself are not killed by another person. Who is then to stop the infinite regress of murder?

I think we are all working towards a greater cause. I believe this has been stunted significantly by GM's conspiracy against free energy and electricity. I'd say we have been put about 100 years behind. Nikola Tesla had ideas for free energy that were blackballed by Thomas Edison a long, long time ago. There is a lot hate in the world, and it all stems from the cost of energy.

Imagine if we went over to the middle east with a free energy device and a bong? End of the war, right then and there.
