[MD] strong wind

[Heather Perella]

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, 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.

Washington's training ground, so to speak, for the
Revolutionary War)

    Add to the list as follows:
    
    - 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 separated 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 (we where involved as puppet
masters, as aids or suppliers, in many other conflicts
around the world during this time to counter Soviet
influence), and etc...
     
     The list above was found at (obviously not the
ones I added):

     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 during the Indian Wars of Pennsylvania
(and other colonies) expansion.  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 think
they are) 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?
