The bigger the group the bigger the influence on world peace, you know the score. I always wanted to try the domes in FF but I left the org before I could get over there. Shame, I might have liked it, loads of my friends have lived over there.

A lot of people have made a statistical case for the world being more peaceful because we don't have the same type of wars as we used to. The stand up and run at each other type of Napoleonic warfare was superceded by the supreme insanity of the 2 world wars. Since then we've had nuclear weapons that have prevented direct superpower confrontation, so it all got pushed into proxy wars like Nam and Indonesia and Afghanistan. Nowadays things seem to be getting worse to me. The Islamic State are some of the worst humans ever, and the disease of righteous religious crusading has taken root wherever there are Muslims who fought in the Afghan war against Russia in the 80's. That's where the seeds of today's conflicts were born. What the solution is I have no idea, you can't reason people out of something they weren't reasoned into and the contagion is spreading. How many UK Muslims have sympathy for IS? Enough to seriously worry absolutely everybody who has bothered to ask the question. When I was younger I was naive enough to think that human governmental systems would be improved by people as they worked out the best ways of doing things, but that signally hasn't happened. It all seems to be getting worse as far as I can see, inequality, environmental destruction, over-population, laissez faire capitalism etc And the winners are taking all and not sharing it out. I'd like to be optimistic but it seems like a crisis point is coming. What happened to the Towers of Invincibility and all the yogi flying and yagya groups? Ah, the seductively simple solution, wouldn't that be great if that worked? Close your eyes and when you wake up the world is a better place. Magical. If I had even the remotest belief in it I'd be living in Fairfield right now. 60 Million People Fleeing Chaotic Lands, U.N.
