Lest We Forget
When I see photos
and video of the First and Second World Wars all I can say is "Thank God, I
grew up in a time of no wars." Lloyd MacIlquham
“If you had seen one day of war, you would pray to God that you would never see another.” The Duke of Wellington
http://www.all-creatures.org/articles/pea-thepen.html
If we let people see that kind of thing, there would never again be any war.”
Pentagon official explaining why the U.S. military censored graphic footage from the Gulf War
http://www.famousfunnyquotes.net/2007/02/15/quotes-about-war/
People have not been horrified by war to a sufficient extent... War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige as the warrior does today.
John F. Kennedy
“I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.” Dwight D. Eisenhower

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu
The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution.

Query: "Respect cannot be demanded it must be earned. Respect is earned only by giving it away."
Like so many so called "truisms" its acceptance is based on sounding nice but, in reality, is simply not true:
Every human being, by the very nature of their existence, is entitled to basic, fundamental respect. Whether this flows from being God's creations and everyone equal in his eyes or, whether simply because we are all the same and "in it together", it is an inalienable right that lies at the very heart of human rights and the dignity of mankind. This fundamental respect need not be earned and may not be lost. However, it can be denied by others at their own peril of doing irreparable harm to the dignity not to those being subjected but to their inner souls and their own self-respect. Also, it is not a question of giving it away but it flows automatically and freely by simply "doing onto other as you would have the do onto you".
Most human abuse and certainly wars, repression by those ruling countries, and the like, is sourced in denying others this basic, fundamental respect. Most animosity between individuals can be traced to originating from one person denying this basic, fundamental respect. When one denies another this basic, fundamental respect, the other has a right to demand otherwise and a duty to so do. By not standing up to such tyranny on a grand scale, or bullying on a personal level, one is abdicating the special place in nature we all have been granted and leaving future generations just that much closer to the law of the jungle.
A philosophy of "Respect cannot be demanded it must be earned. Respect is earned only by giving it away" makes human relations and interaction into a "zero sum game". It converts "respect" into the currency of exchange, used to manipulate, coerce and extort. But much worse, as with all such things, it is relied
upon for the foundation of rationalizing one's actions and treatment of other thus obscures truth, blurring reality and killing the soul, one cut at a time.
For any open, free and tolerant society:
The Purpose is:
to build a nation where everyone can attain their potential
and join together to help those that need help and protect those that need protection;
through:
informed, open and transparent discussion leading to a truly democratic solution for the good of all.
Liberal and comprehensive rights to access information,
available to all
unobstructed and vigilantly exercised,
is a cornerstone of modern, open and free, democracy,
protecting all from a closed, secretive government
intent on using the powers entrusted to them
for their self interest and interests contrary to the will of the people.
Access to information affords the stuff whereby the individual
may forge both sword and shield to uphold human rights,
without which no amount legislation can guaranty these rights
and so, should therefore stand on the same footing.
Good leadership in a modern, democratic, economically developed society
is not one person imposing his/her will on all the rest.
Good leadership refers to the whole and not one part.
It entails delegation of responsibilities and powers and choosing the right
people in which these may be vested.
There is always a thousand reasons not to pursue a dream
And only one to pursue it.
It's too much only if it's successful
If our theories and instrumentation
flow from our intellect
how can we say that the stars don’t.
Fossils are not evidence supporting evolution.
They can amount to no
more than a lack of evidence towards the refutation
of the hypotheses underlying the theory
of evolution. Internal
consistency of a physical theory does not make it real.
They can be ‘dated’ no further back into the past than
their recent discovery
and exhumation. Their provenance can be established no further.
That they can be attributed to
some hypothetical animal that gave up the ghost
millions of years ago is based on the
same assumptions upon which
is based the theory of evolution. If you believe
in this, then
you may very well believe in fossils.
