I've expressed this view (as an interplanetary journalist) to members of the Sublime Council on more than one occasion; I have also represented my views to the High Znam. The only action has been a reaffirmation of both concepts, and the promise of further expansion.<br /><br />My strong suspicion is that thr wheels are coming off the global economy with a vengeance; and I also suspect that the "Atlantic" economy (North America and the Western Europe) is on the leading edge with a vengeanc. I think that we in Asia will be hurt, but not as badly as North America and Western Europe. David A.

Coming originally from Rhode Island, I grew up knowing the story of Roger Williams, and his nearly fatal problems with the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay colony. His example as well as others produced the tolerance for religious differences, and the unheard of hands-off approach with regard to a national religion found in the first amendment. <br /><br />The Peace of Westphalia resulted from general acceptance of the principle "quius regio, eius religio", but full religious tolerance was championed by Americans. What we have today is a splintering of morality, and the subsequent "culture wars", with each side attempting to make their personal view of morality the law of the land. We basically now function according to the principle "cuius regio, eius mores", as left and right capture the government. These wars will not end until, like religion, morality is left to the individual conscience. Is this not, in fact, exactly what the non-aggression principle would accomplish if widely adopted?Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603153065912441315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-68540999249948097852017-02-08T04:42:52.186-08:002017-02-08T04:42:52.186-08:00Agreed.
