No, I don't go along with those who choose ethnic cleansing
nor by those who accumulate the most wealth or those who determine
that God is on their side or the strong that are determined to
dominate the weak.
Well, those are usually the winners. If you don't "go along" with
them, it's highly likely that you will be among the losers. That's an
acceptable proposition in a country that protects, supports, and
sometimes even subsidizes the losers (i.e. government bailout). You
might find it more comfortable to be among the winners.
All nations that have followed this path in history lose out
in numbers
until their ways change, never to rise again as the future holds for
them " kill and be killed" by the many they have harmed.
All nations? Well, Jews have maintained their cultural and
nationalistic integrity probably the longest. We also do quite well
in collecting wealth. We're not into ethnic cleansing, although there
are factions that wouldn't mind doing that to the neighboring Arab
states. Lots of other examples (Persia, China, American Indian
nations, Egypt, India) that have been around for a long time. They
all have their ups and downs, but all seem to survive.
I suspect that the next change in size of nations
will be the Middle East as all sides have moved towards permanent sin
that will never be forgiven and where some are willing to give
themselves
while taking all, leaving nothing but a desert while the tolerant have
presettled
else where they remove themselves from pre ethnic pasts.
For a nominal charge, I'll supply the needed forgiveness. As for
leaving the middle east a deserts, it has always been a desert. Not
much changes above ground level.
Could we now possibly go back to radio and antennas which is what the
newsgroup
is set up for?
Possibly yes. However, ending a sentence in a preposition is a
violation of proper grammar, up with which I will not put.
