Somehow, midst strangely fewer gems per acre than produced by traditional 
chained monkeys at typewriters, Hegel and Nietzsche relished war.  Hegel 
thought the ultimate contest would be between North and South America, 
Nietzsche that real men were warriors and women were for the recreation of 
such men.  In 'bag of words' interviewing, one of the things we look for 
are reference points in what people say that should have  empirical checks 
we can make.  Once you have someone telling you they were never in a room 
full of their fingerprints ...

Nietzsche seemed to relish war in the same way as post WW2 morons like us, 
listening to the beating of the drums of a 'war to end all wars' speech, 
without easily lapsed memories on the last one of these and what has 
followed since.  Ask yourself and other people what you know about war.  I 
can say you won't find anyone who has much clue about the realities - but 
how can we establish what the realities of war are?

Primitive societies (those that will have politically correct drongoes 
castigating one's use of the term primitive) usually state that 'revenge' 
is the main reason for ongoing wars.  Plenty of examples of that in this 
group, as the children claim 'she hit me first'.  I blame my big sister fro 
dropping me in a carry cot when I was 18 months old.  I claim to remember a 
pink carrycot - this was the one I used to use a a toboggan to ride down 
the stairs when old enough to have actual memories.  The one we had at the 
time relevant to the dropping 'memories' was green.  Of course, traumatised 
by the incident, I would inevitably confuse colours ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - 
or so it seems until you meet people involved in fantasy against fantasy 
"arguments" about real vendetta, range war and plans to hide a small 
population under Cheyenne Mountain to emerge 300 years after the 
thermo-nuclear "resolution".
