23-Apr-14 World View -- Arabs recruit soldiers from Pakistan

I'm not Muslim. I'm Anglican. And I don't buy your attempt to appear even handed, moderate, or whatever. You have already said too much. However, I also believe in freedom of speech. So, by all means, continue to spew.

I do think that John is on to something with his GD theory. I just wish things pointed in a different direction. When I studied history in college, we were taught to use it as a tool for analysis. We learned similar things along the lines of Generational Dynamics-well, a much varied form of it. I do not think that people really do change that much. Machiavelli wrote that people are predictable and that those who know history can predict it like the change of seasons-not exactly, but very well. (After all, it rarely snows in July in Tuscany...)

I meant to type: I do not believe that people change all that much.
