<There will always be war, don't kid yourself ....> No, it is inevitable the entire world will be at peace: First all the big nations get nuclear weapons. (done) Then all the little nations get nuclear weapons (doing) Israel, Syria, Taiwan, Haiti. Then every tribe, ethnic group, repressed group. Hamas, Kurds, Shining Path, Apaches. Then everyone, literally, any of the 6-10 billion of us, will have access to WMD, and the means to deliver them, and there is nothing anyone can do, to stop this progression. Might as well stand at the seashore and shout at the tide not to come in. Then, then, then we will figure out how to make peace, somehow. If we can't, we'll have the peace of the grave. So, permanent world peace is inevitable, one way or another.

To market, to market or Sitizens Every one of us has been selected. By circumstance, by choice, by inclination. We have an interface, a way to connect to this place and we have rudimentary tools to express ourselves. People believe they are advancing positions or supporting strategies or writing about stocks, what they are really doing is applying whitewash to the fence, building the new land. We have far more in common than most communities, we should not be polarized along national or political lines, especially when it comes investing. As long as war continues people will not be doing a lot of talking about investing, except in US defense contractors. Mr. Kelly's death is a real tragedy, it brings the question of credibility right to the top. The BBC has not admitted any error, nor has anyone been fired, the inquiry is going to very revealing. At the center of the controversy is the claim that Iraq could prepare and deliver chemical weapons in 45 minutes.
