Hi David ; You know I really believe that you are a nice person and you have really great thoughts and ideals, so there is nothing personal in my response.
...cut.... > We now stand at the threshold of > a global civilization, diverse-- yes-- but unified. Sorry for that severe cut, I don't have too much time to write an eloquent response. I don't think the data fits your assertions. Total military spending worldwide for 2007 was an astonishing $1.2 TRILLION. http://www.infoplease.com/us/military/largest-world-military-expenditures.html Then we have the other effects I mentioned previously, ie. pollution (cost to the planet is how many US$Trillions?), crime, etc. This does not sound like we are moving in the right direction to me (the right direction being peace and harmony and unity). In fact, from my vantage point outside the US, I can say we are moving in exactly the WRONG direction. Please correct me if I am wrong. BR Peter G.
