    Got to thinking recently that LBJ's war on poverty started about 60 years ago and there is a wider wealth equality gap today than ever. The war on drugs started about 40 years ago and that problem is worse than ever. And the war against racism seems to be getting worse the more the left want to bring attention to it. Did it ever occur to anyone that the more we wage these wars the worse things get? Morgan Freeman once said that the best way to fight racism is to quit talking about it. Was he right? Does this apply to all of these wars we've been fighting? Does trying to fight these wars make the problems worse instead of better?
