About
In nature, the Great Pyrenees is confident, gentle, and affectionate. While territorial and protective of flock or family when necessary, the general demeanor is one of quiet composure, both patient and tolerant. The Great Pyrenees is strong willed, independent and somewhat reserved, yet attentive, fearless and loyal to flock and family.

Sad to say, you haven't included one of the biggest destroyer of lives: ABORTION
Since 1973, abortion has taken more than 46 million American lives. Compare this to 1.6 million American lives taken by these wars altogether: American Revolution, Civil War, Spanish-American, WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Panama, Gulf War and Iraq.
Uhm, over 70 million people died in WW2 alone.
You're right, and I've edited my comment to say "American lives," of which there were more than 418,000 taken during WW2 (still way below the 46 million American lives lost to abortion since 1973).
Sorry, I meant "actual real people, not clusters of non-viable cells."
Point up for you!!!
So, you moderated my above comment down with the oldest falsehood in the book?
Here's the truth: American medicine's most prominent human embryology text, "The Developing Human," states that human development begins at fertilization when a sperm unites with the ovum to produce a single cell--a zygote. This highly specialized cell marks the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.
With information like this, no one in the 21st century should act like they do not know when human life (i.e. "an actual real person")begins!
No I did not moderate you down. I only do that for name-calling and bigotry.
Disease. In the 20th century alone disease has killed more people than all the wars combined since the birth of Christ: cerebrovascular diseases, cancers, AIDS, typhoid, malaria, staphylococcus, streptococcus, cardiovascular diseases, and thousands of other diseases. And if you want to count every death from disease since 1200 A.D. (which would include two serious bouts of Black Death [bubonic plague]) then there have probably been more deaths from diseases since then than there have been from all wars in all of recorded history.

Economic manipulations also make war more likely: you don't go to war with your trading partners, and when you can't trade to get resources, you invade to get resources.
Economic manipulations probably don't lead to drug addiction ... although they have been known to lead to alcoholism!
Yup.
Except that in this country, economic manipulations lead to all kinds of drug addiction. From the CIA introducing crack into East L.A. to the cocaine wars brought about by the economic incentives created by the War on Drugs to prescription drug addiction brought about by the economic takeover of our medical system by Big Pharma and the insurance companies, economic factors are huge in relation to addiction.
The CIA did not introduce crack into East LA.
