\"\"I\u2019ve never been much of a conspiracy theorist.\u00a0 Someone could give me lots and lots of evidence that the wars of today were engineered by a secret conspiracy within a hidden world government designed to keep the money flowing to the military-industrial complex, and I would still find it hard to believe.\u00a0\u00a0 I tend to believe in Occam\u2019s Razor, in other words, the simplest explanation for things is likely correct one.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why are we constantly at war?\u00a0 For me, it comes down to our warlike nature as nervous monkeys who are deathly afraid of the monkeys who live on the other side of the forest.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure where I\u2019m going with this, except to address the theme of the song I was requested to perform this week, Bob Dylan\u2019s Masters of War.\u00a0 The song rips up the people who make the guns.\u00a0 It attacks the ones who hide behind desks while the blood of the world\u2019s youth is spilled on battlefields.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have Americans killing or dying in three parts of the world right now.\u00a0 THREE?!?!\u00a0 Okay, I can see why Bob\u2019s message in this tune needs to be heard right now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think our goal on this planet is to evolve.\u00a0 As humans, we must do all we can to get passed our primate fears of the monkeys on the other side of the big forest.\u00a0 Now, not too long ago, some of those monkeys came and threw a lot of poo our way, and may do so again.\u00a0 That said, how long until we realize that we are more than monkeys who have to retaliate with bigger, laser guided, more deadly poo?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, here you go, Denneigh Lemur (who, ironically, uses a primate avatar).\u00a0 He won the FriendBurst NCAA Basketball Tourny Challenge I set up, and as the winner, he got to request that I perform a song of his choice.\u00a0 Now, as it was a prize, I decided to go all out.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/span>

So\u2026 War: Is it just flingin really deadly poo?\u00a0 Why does the human race seem to continue to be hell bent on killing one another?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
