One has to queston a person or persons' social ethics at today's news when we hear of the Bush administration wanting to put together a weapons sale to Saudi Arabia and sell nuclear technology to India, who has been making nuclear (pronounced NOO-kleeur) bombs outside of the nuclar arms proliferation treaty.
By that same microcosmic premise, an ethical way to make money is to go to a high-crime neighborhood way on the other side of town and open liquor stores and gun shops. Do away with grocery stores, while you're at it. And keep them angry so they don't realize they're killing themselves. Stir them up once in a while by making fun of their god. They the gunshop owners and liquor store clerks gone. Meanwhile, back in their manicured neighborhoods across town washing their pleasure crafts, the liquor and gun store owners refuse to negotiate because the neighborhood's dangerous.
"But here, try these bigger guns. That'll be $20,000,000,000 US. Here's your receipt. It was business doing pleasure with you. By the way, your God hates you. "
The "It's Just Business" monologue trumps dialogue when you're selling "Self Defense" as a lifestyle.
My, my, my. Planting and nurturing fear. It flowers nicely and predictably into Isolation. Tony Montagna on the balcony. Smeared with the fat from the bill of sales for the latest in Killing technology.
And that's just the war.
What about selling nuclear technology to India, a country possessing a track record of detonating nukes? We are in the business of selling perpetual death where no one's really responsible for the product. And business is good.
"Sir? Yeah you with the piss-stained pants and matching sidewalk... Here's a magnum of Peach Brandy and a gun. You need a break from being homeless."
Yeah. All this will definitely help the Middle East.
