[MD] Back to the last static latch

[Heather Perella]

Hello everybody,

     I posted this before in [MD] strong wind.  It
goes right along with what we are discussing now. 
Keep in mind this culture has no intellect.  It
expands and collapses (Greeks), expands and collapses,
expands and collapes, etc... then you have expansion
over seas - collapse, expansion west - ?  What will it
be?  Spartan thinking, the politicans in Athens, or
somebody walking in the woods/streets thinking about
this and soon everybody somehow thinks - imagine that!
 

     Here is that previous post.  I did add one more
war.

     Hello,

     Here is a list of conflictive influences that
this culture had and has to endure.  How much can a
society/culture take before something permeates the
culture in such a way that the INTELLECT is influenced
to the breaking point and the strong wind blows off
the roof to our house?  This is not a collection of
wrongs or rights (for the level they are acting out
upon), these are events that like all events, ones
even as innocent as electricity, influence a culture
into the static patterns and
dynamic avenues that a culture accumulates and makes
possible (On the level they occur - but what of the
INTELLETUAL level and dynamic-value experience in
which moral critics keep the levels in tune not just
within themselves, but between themselves, too -
balance and harmony?)

    - Panama (1980's) 
    - Bosnia-Herzogovian War (1990's)
    - 'War against Terrorist' includes:  Afgan War,
Iraq War (this latter is disputed as to whether it is
a separate war
       or included in this larger category) 

     There might be plenty of other wars and conflicts
not included above.  I never even heard of some of
these listed above.  Others, now that I think about
it, is the 'War against Blue Jacket' in the Ohio
Valley, the Cold War (both the Soviet Union and the
U.S. were involved as puppet masters, as aids or
suppliers, in many other conflicts around the world
during this time to counter each other), and the U.S.
involvement in the otherthrow of a Chilian president,
etc...
     
     The list above was found (excluding the ones I
added) at:

     Every generation of the United States of America
has been influenced by war.  The Quakers who
established Pennsylvania via William Penn gave up
their politic positions due to their belief in all out
passive peace and diplomacy during the Indian Wars of
Pennsylvania (and other colonies) expansion.  Yet, the
settlers wanted land, and the demand for protection,
not from themselves, but from their own activities
caused a mob on Philadelphia.  The settlers were upset
that the Amerindians were fighting them while the
settlers took their land.  The Quakers believing in
the inner light and that to kill a human is to strike
at G-d, went against what the Quakers tried to
resolve, not just using their religion, but their
intellect as well (putting boundaries on settler
expansion, diplomacy, valued existence)
     To this day the Quakers go in front of the White
House, and stand in a moment of silence before any war
the U.S. is contemplating.  To this day minute men,
common citizens, leave their houses to go and protect
what is seen as a threat (militias, and the case of
Minute Men
(not to say they are militias, because I don't know if
they are technically defined as such) who protect the
Mexican border from any potential criminals and
terrorists.  These SOM actions run deep in this
country.  Seen as natural actions by all who perform
them.  The influence of these conflicts towards every
U.S. citizen has been there from the start.  Where's
the strong wind blowing against the INTELLECT?  It is
in this country, it is in that country, it is in the
act-react no way out of this conflictive situation of
the SOM world.  Don't you think?  (or I do add when
will will think intellectually?)
