Hi Ray, <<Similar to Europa in 1914, or Germany 1933. Or possibly a consolidation of empire similar to the era of Frederick the Great from 1848-70 ... Funny how history repeats itself>> I think you may be warm now, on the scent of dying anguish and birthing pain. I cannot help thinking that Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy (actually 5 books in series) or Star Wars may actually describe the future and the past pretty accurately, given how history is so seemingly repetitive. Nations come together, then fall apart, alliances coalesce, then splinter, currencies come into being, then disappear, peace invariably followed by war, then peace again, wrong becomes right, then wrong once more … adinfinitum and over again, all events are fractal reflections of other happenings, scaled up and zoomed down. Two kinds of change concern me, even as I realize I can do naught about them. First, when good changes to bad, and second, before bad changes to good. Where are we on David's graphic representation of change? Chugs, Jay
