I like to think that we, as a people, have made progress in the last two thousand years; that we're more diplomatic and less violent.
After reading more about Rome though I wonder if that's true. Maybe we don't put heads on spikes and drag dead bodies through the street but have we really made any progress? Lately I've been thinking that our progress has been all in weapons design. We don't have to physically fight, we just shoot 'em, or bomb 'em, or torpedo 'em out of the water. It's no less damaging to those involved and far more damaging to the earth.
Will we always fight? Have there ever been peaceful human beings on earth?
