<<<The conquistadors eliminated (wiped out) the guys who practiced human sacrifice. And later on, it was replaced with the more massive scale of Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and Vietnam. Just different forms and perspectives of human sacrifice. Kiwis done the same to the Maorists? And all in the name of democracy and freedom for the megalomaniacs supemacy?>>>

Thank heavens for little girls. They grow up in the most delightful way

But this is not always true for little boys. Sometimes they never grow up.

IMO both you and Maurice are racialists. Both of you persist in casting situations in the most incendiary manner - almost desiring to ensure self fulfilling prophacies.

The other guy is evil. So let's get the other guy before he gets you. .

In reality it is to everyones interest if disputes are settled through negotiations - with each side compromising.

I am really hopeful that Chinese ruling class are largely people educated in mathematics and understand the calculus.

But then again, Maurice is terrific at mathematics and he is still able to maintain some looney tunes ideas wrt viewing the world in racial terms.

The optimistic view on people like Maurice and myself is that we are both dinosaurs - our types are on the way out. Young people may be able to view things differently. Younger people will be able to view each other and look beyond physical attributes.
