I dunno Lexy - I like your idea.  Being in a relatively free society has to be having an effect but aren't they here in the first place because everything has fallen apart where they came from?

Human beings are evolving, that's what we do like everything else that lives.  I tend to think that a young man who is prepared to run over others in order to express his feelings has taken generations to develop.

I dunno if I dare say what I think about the nature of religion!   oh okay - the impulse behind it is the deepest most sacred impulse we have.  It's our voluntary imperative.  If we hadn't developed differently we'd all be born out of reverence for it.  We'd never have built churches and even if we were in the middle of a huge barney over territory, everyone would make way for the love to happen.

As it is we had the English and German soldiers having a truce for Christmas in World War One.

Yes we need constraints but it has to be a voluntary impulse to accept them or it's always going to be bound for trouble.

The way we are, at best, in any country the people have a troubled relationship with their government because it's not being fair to them.  Returning soldiers get treated well tho and it can get pretty good as we baby boomers know but right now here in Australia the topic that has come up is that the aborigines who had become soldiers were - oh god I find this hard to believe it's so remarkably insulting - but yes all the returning soldiers who applied for them were given land grants except for the aborigines, they were refused.  Sick isn't it.  Don't tell me that's going away in a hurry.
