Foxy,Hitler was a psychopath.What makes you think that this dysfunctional gene pool would end with his death?

There are many who crave to fill the breach of insanity.Zbigniew Brezinski is a case in point.

The lunatics have painted themslves into a corner and now seek war for escape and profit like the last two world wars.The fronts are many since it gives them more options.

The banks loan money to our Govts so our Govts can buy from arms dealers.There is a lot of profit in war.A missile costs over $1 million and $ million's is needed for medicine for injured soldiers.

For some,war is very profitable.

Dear Bazz,

I find that I've got nothing further
to add.

However, Thanks for your input into
this thread.

Dear Arjay,

Ultimately the prospects for peace depend
on the collective action of ordinary people.
This may seem paradoxical at first, for
individuals often feel powerless in the
face of distant governments and mighty arsenals.
However if a modern society goes to war, it is
not just because the leaders have opted for war,
but because the people have implicitly or
explicitly done so also - or at least they have
not opted for peace.

We can only hope and trust that our ultimate
choice will be to enhance the life (and not
destroy it) on the bright
and lovely planet on which all of us share our
adventure.

The way things are going I doubt that I'll have any and if I do I'll be past much anyway.

My take on Australia's democratic reality is that things change slowly not dramatically, politically. Given that AGW/ACC is real I anticipate we (the species) will adapt to the new environment.
Given children adapt to anything ...what they don't know/experience they won't miss.
I suspect they'll survive maybe life will be different for them than for them than us but that will be in *their* terms of reference.
i.e. Our children find it hard to understand how I was happy enough without TV and computers.
My biggest 'concerns' philosophically are decreasing size of our groups yet the internecine hostilities seem to remain consistent with our 'just out of the trees' antecedents. It seems to me that we still haven't been able to break the technological nexus between our increasing ability to save lives and an equaling advancing ability to destroy.

We still regard our selves as the purpose of nature. When in reality it isn't even aware of our Species existence.
We exist in a narrow band if we go beyond those boundaries by destroying the bubble in which we exist nature will simple absorb the raw materials and continue oblivious that we ever existed.

When one looks at life from the perspective of the infinitesimal to the mind blowingly large our petty internecine squabbles and unbelievable arrogance disappear... Existence is its own Goal
Try this scale meter out....

Dear Examinator,

I'm so glad that you're back posting
again. (Missed your analytical touch
- oh wise one!).
;-)

Welcome back - and I trust we'll hear
more from you in future. Cyber-space
isn't the same without you!

I won't argue with your take on our future.
I'd have to take off my rose-coloured glasses
for that and I don't feel like doing that.
They're my defense when viewing an often
indifferent and callous world. :-)

Whistler will still be arguing for a seperate men's and women's legislature.

well its no wonder some folk have a negative outlook on the future when all the history they choose to work with is from a human world run by a two-stroke engine which has been clunking along for too long on a single cylinder.
kick the dual cylinders in cync and zoooooooooooooom!
