Today's mix of cartoons looks at waning idealism, cold-hearted materialism, and the DoD's (Department of Defense) scary preparations for the future.
To start with--today's general view of the dream of peace on Earth.
Then there's another portion of the reality--the homeless in Silicon Valley.
In this next cartoon I don't see taxes vs. entitlements in governmental terms but the Rich vs. the rest of us.
Here's the scary part. The Pentagon is preparing for mass civil breakdown. If you don't believe it, check out this Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) page on the Minerva Initiative. Better to stand up now, while we still can? Huffington Post notes that civil unrest is not always related to cases like Ferguson. Maybe we are headed for mass civil breakdown.
One more look at the dream of peace on earth, before it's forgotten.
