The economist Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) observed and wrote, "The state is God (for many), deifying arms and prisons. The worship of the state is the worship of force. The citizens passionately participate in the war for it is their state, their God, who fights... Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly." That is to say, whoever wants peace must reduce their God the State to merely human as prone to self-interest as well error and excess as fellow humans.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
