Killing others goes against the grain

Channel 4 had part two of its investigation into killing tonight. In it it was made very clear how unnatural killing others is; how hard it is to train soldiers to actually do it and how difficult it is for those who are so trained to live with themselves afterwards. The the book "The Eternal Child" it was noted how much less violent human societies are than other primate societies.. Need to put this in dialogue with theologies placing violence at the heart of human fallnness.

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
