Thank you Karen for showing the incredible hubris of today's politicians
and populations supporting this war. We still remember that it was a
war that destroyed the great treasures of Greece and allowed Greece to
be sacked ravaged and dispersed all over the world. Rome, the great
destroyer, got off by comparison. Baghdad frankly is more important as
a historical monument of great architecture and art than any of these
issues. Petty, shallow and infantile humans who do little, decide to
play amongst the world's treasures and destroy them in their narcissism.
We can debate whether Global warming truly exists but the wells of
Kuwait did change the weather of the entire planet and that is not in
doubt. How much more the wells of Iraq? This is the old better
"dead than red" thinking. Earlier it was "the only good Indian is a
dead Indian." Solomon decidedly is dead and the baby was hacked to
death to make meat for the two barbaric mothers.
I thought one of the mother claimants said that the other should
get the whole live baby rather than the baby dying and that
Solomon concluded from that that she was the real mother.

To repeat myself, or rather, to repeat Werner Herzog from
his film about the First Gulf War:
In that time, they will seek death,
but they will not find it,
because death will flee from them.
But since this is a list about the future of work,
I will end with the recent Dilbert cartoon
where the Grim Reaper comes for Dilbert, and
Dilbert is baffled because G.R. has a smile on his face.
Dilbert asks about this, and G.R. explains: "I,
unlike you, like my job."
Cheers!
