Perhaps the tilte is a bit missleading in that it is only an indirect referance to the topic I wish to talk about.
Something Chris said last week about cultural differances had me pondering over the weekend about it, specificaly how strong an effect our culture has on our mindset, and whether or not it is possible to formulate ideas that transend culture. So to kick the ball about a bit, I thought if I intruduced this particular sticky knot, and asked us all to bear in mind wheter or not or culture has any bearing on our answers to it, and if so what effect, then perhaps we could find out. Sticky Knot. I see no merit or value in the idea of patriotism, to my mind it serves to divide mankind and seriously renders the coming together as a species, rather than as distinct 'subsets' of the same specise quite impossible. If we are to feel prinde in the achivents of our countries then logicaly we should then feel shame for the crimes, yet I don't think I can point to a single patriot willing to feel such shame. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
