So, fighting and possible death is okay, as long as it's personal. But once it becomes national policy, it's wrong, because the people who should be deadified are the ones who are instituting the policy in the first place. Or so it seems.

In our consumer-driven politics, all you have to do is give the people something they think they want. Make the ads entertaining, package the product with a catchy stupid mispelled name, and everybody is happy to shell out their hard-earned shekels for crap.
