Your connection between UXO and car crashes I must say is rather spurious. The decimation of rural indigenous populations has been a major US policy for the past 60 years and continues to this day. Perhaps there is a more fundamental question to be asked, i.e. why were these crimes perpetrated in the first place and I include the First World War in the scheme of things here also. I would also imagine instances of UXO explosions in France is minute in comparison with what is happening accross Indo-China today. Let us not forget the empirically true fact that if all …

Well you will surely be aware that everything revolves around money regardless of personal opinion. For instance I disagree inherently with the whole concept and believe it is the mainstay of greed. Pretty basic comments. However it was economics that will be the cause of interference in Latin American Democracy, it was economics that drove the United States into the jungles of South Vietnam. However much we may treat it with personal disdain. Therefore the bottom line in this probably terminal phase of human evolution is the dollar and the euro. It has been the deciding factor in the construction of …

Thank you for the reply. Yes I can give you examples of countries that, or at least large parts of countries that have been ostensibly free from greed at least in a more communal sense. I cannot comment on individuals. I would suggest you look at the Barcelona Anarchists of the Spanish Republic who were simply crushed by Franco's fascists. I am not writing from Italy, it is an Irish flag (green white and orange, they are similar). The Israeli Kibuzzin might be considered another example, I am not sure how true it is today but certainly before they were quite …

Thakn you very much Maria. I am sure your "old age" should not be so much of an impediment to you. I am only 20, I still have to enter the workforce and when I do I am afraid I cannot promise that I will continue with my efforts.As is all too obvious work is the main system of control. I hope I can continue. Unfortunately, these capabilities are being crushed on a daily basis. Unlike Franco they no longer need tanks and guns to suppress us, they have television and public relations to do that for them. I of course …

Yes I would also like to know where Maria is also!! haha It appears we do agree on some of the fundamenals but I must always feel that greed is a product of society. We are assuming here that history is following some sort of cyclical pattern here. We must instead assume that these are the times to be alive. The very fact we are here discussing such things means that there is something telling us that things are not right. I must say that there would be more than a mere system of restriction stopping me from taking something that …
