Just an observation concerning something I'm sick of hearing

There are several people around me who keep telling me America needs another civil war. Seemingly hoping it would happen.

Can't help but notice all of them have nice homes and property, good incomes, fairly well set for retirement when it comes, take multiple nice vacations every year and have young adult children just starting out in the world.

If they actually got their wish they'd spend every minute praying things would go back to normal.

That's absurd. Who needs a war; no one would win, the economy would be destroyed and people that you love dead. Utter nonsense.

I think we are all so removed from any war historically that most people don't know what war really is. They have no concept. I think the same was for WWI when people cheered and were jubilant to march off to war. They learnt the horrible reality of course.
