... rambling? You just put down - what? - ten lines; Here's something that caught my eyes - in connection with the world trying to digest the 09.02 Security Strategy Report - globalsecurity.org where does the expresion >>absolutism<< come from? The root is the Latin verb absolvo/absolvere/absolutum, meaning to absolve (what else;), to release, to free. Of course, now the connection is getting rather moot - an absolutist ruler is absolved / released ... of what? Here the following construct is enlightening: lege absolutus - absolved / freed from law. In other words absolutism means freedom from existing laws. Let's leave it at that for now. RegZ dj
