Again - "Volves, Sheeps and Shipdogs" saga is not adequate to our discussion , still doesn't provide any clues to the methods curing a "Deadly Conflict in Peace" , and doesn't stop teaching our children to kill . But the same author can motivate one to read his book : "On Killing ; The Psychological Cost of learning to Kill in War and Society" .
