The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
So very true. But also consider that there exist evil men who have learned how to profit from hard times so wish to extend them for as long as possible. Therein lies the massive push back when strong men seek to restore the good times.
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

I'm sorry- are those pictures of the Mughal invasion of India? I think they are....
The Muslim Mughals committed horrific genocide against the Hindu Indians.
This is not strong men creating good times!

Plenty and peace breed cowards.
