22. Ok Fixed it

Hunter gather life was no utopia,but neither is civilized life.
For me civilized life is toxic,and it is in fact killing everything it touches.
What is the true cost of this way of life we have? Do you know. Do you know of all the slaves it takes to make our clothes and ipods? Are you willing to destroy the future so you don't have to deal with death ? You will die either way if not from tooth disease ,from a car accident with some stressed out driver in rush hour traffic,or you might die from mad cow, or a bad vaccine,or you can die from any number of things some that did not exist in hunter gatherer times., And weapons have become more deadly and common,nuclear bombs kill lots of people,bio weapons,chemical weapons,and guns kill people easier than sticking them with a spear.Guns are easier to use,and can depersonalize murder ..so you can kill driving by the victim in a car and not see death come upon who you killed you don't even have to care your bullet missed your target and killed a 3 year old kid in his yard...,Look it is harder to kill a person with a spear,With a spear fight a victim could fight back..It is harder to kill when you see your target as a human being like you,.hear him cry.. The Military works hard to erase the natural aversion to killing our own kind..and ,with a gun,bang it's done killing is easy..
Sure aztecs were murderous thugs but they also had agriculture and hierarchical civilization.And earlier version of what we have now.The Issue of haves and have nots.

Think about it.
