Another Enlightened Student of Maturity

I suppose I'll begin with an explanation. I've posted a couple of articles here before (if you press ctrl-f and then type in my name, you'll find them), and let me tell you, people didn't take my opinions seriously for a reason.
Someone else has also written an article similar to this (check Val Kirkbride) about her past, and, well here's mine.
I was thirteen, I believe, when I wrote my past two articles. Since then, I've been through my "punk" phase. I was cool, I was rebellious, I was anti-Bush. I'm fifteen as of now, going on sixteen. Let me tell you: that phase is over.
I've realized something: War is completely and utterly impossible to avoid. Sure, it would be a laughable option to an enlightened society full of bright individuals with no egos that functioned on pure logic, but people here are missing the primary function of humans: emotion. Emotion allows wonderful things such as love and happiness, but it, like most things, is accompanied by negativity: anger, depression, and hatred, which spawn war.
Kudos to the people here. You've all discovered that part of the equation. Let's get onto the second.
War is impossible to avoid. Humans, like most social animals, thoroughly enjoy functioning in groups. This is what spawns governments, which, my friends, are also unavoidable. In the event of pure, total anarchy, we humans would naturally get together as groups and create mini-governments.
Now, this brings us to another section of our little equation: large groups function at the level of two or three year olds. When grouped together, we humans argue, bitch, and moan, ultimately slowing down the process of thought and shredding it to basic animal instincts. Get more resources. Become liked. Beat something weaker than you. And thus, war begins.
Let's review this equation: War = Emotion * Social Nature.
I'm fully prepared for the common trendy teenager to rebuke these statements with such intelligent phrases as "That's what the man wants you to think!" Okay, so no one intelligent will actually do that, and I'm exaggerating, but please, think about this.
The world does not need more angsty teenagers. I went through my phase with no one shoving a nice pile of logic in my face, so I had to figure it out myself.
Only logic will solve problems correctly.
Oh, and on the subject of George W. Bush, I think he's the single most hilarious president this country has ever had. Who else could think of such funny things as keeping our children out of the "dark dungeons of the internet"? I don't hate the man - I've never met him. From what I can tell, he's just a puppet to detract attention away from real power. Honestly - even in a country so full of idiots, do you honestly think the bright (though corrupt) people who run our country would actually allow him to take control?
I've also heard some things about communism here. My website has my views on communism (I am Jeebus McChrist on their), but I'm not going to link it, as that would be sitewhoring.
Anyways, hope people start realizing the real truth behind things.
