We could end the pointless bickering on DU ...

[Boojatta]

... and also end the pointless bickering and fighting that is occurring throughout the world ...

... if we could all simply take out our star charts, select a planetary system that contains a planet ripe for destruction, and work together to make it happen.

I anticipate that, as usual, someone will quibble with this plan, perhaps trying to frighten us with the tale that the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the force.

Please, surprise me with something other than knee-jerk disagreement.

1. I think we should form armies of people to go out

and remove invasive plants growing in all our wildlife areas.

3. Do "invasive plants" include

right-wing thugs who try to infiltrate peaceful demonstrations?

4. Why do you think the bickering on DU is pointless?

I suspect many here enjoy the bickering. Entertainment and pleasure are their own rewards.
