[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 692763, member: 18958"] Oh Esther!! You got older than me since your last signature update!! Good!!I am waaaay behind you. *Lying through my teeth. How can this be so? I find the views you express quite sophisticated and not unlike my own which I as well consider sophisticated and nuanced. Smiling again. I agree and from what I have read, so do many other thoughtful people (like us on this forum). I agree with this, too. I agree with this too. The movement of money across borders, the movement of workers, the standardization of laws that affect money and movement of capital. Except this utterly important thing: I read this week that the 20th century is considered by some to be a century of betrayal. (In an essay by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson.) He says this because of what happened in the Treaty of Versailles after WWI which dealt with the terms of the Armistice and the belief by some that the 20th century was so bloody because of how that was handled. My mother until she died sometimes called Veterans Day here in the United States, Armistice Day, the name until after WWII. What I am trying to say is that I for one, never ever acknowledged how much my own identity was shaped by events in Europe in the context of which I was born, that occurred before I was born. However much we agree that this discussion is not part of CD, I believe it is an essential one to have. Somewhere. Because as long as I remain ignorant I am dangerous. That to me is the topic at hand. Thank you everybody. I have thoroughly enjoyed this. Love, COPA [/QUOTE]
