The Pankian Metaphor 3033

(Oversnipped)..

Israel has successfully angered a major part of the world's population by its policies in Palestine. That is an incredibly hard thing to do, considering how much most of these people differ otherwise.

Sadat?.. Have you studied any of his positions?.. Poor old Anwar (I have nightmares sometimes about that picture of the Muslim Brother leaning over the desk, pumping bullets into the unfortunate man) was a good old fashioned politician, taking kickbacks from everyone, and trying to solve problems.. No, he was no fundementalist.

Incorrect.

Just because you solve one bug, dosn't stop others appearing. Sometimes the first bug hides the others.

Good idea. May come true if the dollar keeps falling.

You have an oligarchy. Check Plato's definition.

You only need a few. Been thinking about that problem (disaster recovery).. You need communications, some way of getting rid of major amounts of dead bodies, some way of getting food to people, people to restore ORDER (YES!!!!!!!!!!!!) (Ordnung muss sei!) Some of the old people (now) who kept things going during the collapse of the Reich would be an buttet.. Fresh water.. low level medical expertise to stop the spread of typhus and cholera.. (during disasters up to recently, disease end far more than the disaster)

A) We can't reach our toes, B) if you tear the toenail out by accident, old flesh dosn't heal well, and infection sets in. Diabetes is a problem there too.

There are gazillions (almost) Muslims. We can't ethnically cleanse them off the planet. We have to live with them. 97.9999999999990% of them are better, more tolerant, people than the other religions. I discovered years ago, (You can count the scars) that I can't beat up everyone I disagree with.. So you live with them.
