No, JC's New World Order isn't political.

It's delightful fiction.

Actually, I enjoy philosophical political discussions, and they do belong here. But not the sort of petty idiocy that permeates the right and left wing threads. That, IMO, should stay there.

I found this article interesting.

The issue: " In this short book, the philosopher Mary Warnock tackles the fundamental question as to whether there is a general right on the part of adults to have children."

She raises some interesting issues.

Yes, we've started something with this "New World Order" thing.

I was thinking of offering Karen the post of Minister of Religion. That one is always good for some big bucks.

What do you think? But she has to get over her hang-up on the elephant tusk thing.

It sure would be nice to be working together to make the world a better place ... especially for ourselves.

We need to find something for CH. Any ideas?
