Two nations fought wars on birds and lost. That should be a lesson.
- TeMPOraL 3y ago> Two nations fought wars on birds and lost. That should be a lesson. Indeed. Prosperity of a people, whether in terms of wealth, happiness, or exterminating all the pesky little critters, is achieved not through violent conflict, but by steadily and patiently growing the economy. Industry, not anger, is what extincts species.
