"Ancestral Sins and Historical Evils" by Vexen Crabtree (2007) Should we return annexed land to its original owners? Should we send immigrants home? And other questions relating to things done by previous generations... should we apologize for those things, on their behalf? I enjoyed writing this page... even got in a bit about the Adam and Eve story from Christian mythology.

"The fantastic population explosion that the Earth is experiencing is uneven. The developed world is gradually experiencing a reduction in growth, leading to an actual decline in population. The result is that even as the West grows old, much of the world becomes more and more overpopulated. As a result the increase in the amount of retired people, and the decrease in workers paying into pensions schemes, all pensions schemes are already starting to collapse. Also, most industries rely on young adult immigrants as the local workforces are becoming increasingly scarce. Our economy and future depends on pulling increasingly greater numbers of workers from countries that are not yet entering the post-explosion era. Developed countries must maintain strong armies to protect themselves from the rumblings of unrest in the overpopulated countries, and to protect such unstable countries from each other, and we must also keep a continual watch over the developing nations in order to aid them past the population-explosion stages in their history. To think that there is no problem or to ignore it is to invite the collapse of civilised Western society under a tide of economic collapses brought on by overpopulation and civil chaos. At the end of the day, if there is no solution to wars and overpopulation, may the most advanced countries survive!" New page contents: - The Population of the Earth

I had a dream! So, the world had been ravaged by war, but then had recovered, albeit, only a small but very advanced city was left over. One day I realized that the frozen pool of water in the town center contains some old survivors of the war, living in the ice, hiding. So, I take a shovel and dig a tunnel into the side of the block of ice. Startlingly, a toy fire engine inside the ice activates and jumps out at me, landing on the floor and robotically driving away until it's wind-up mechanism ran out of stored energy. I kept digging. A large crocodile tried to snap my hand, next, and the ten foot animal wriggled out of the ice and tried to eat me. I hit it's nose and pushed it's head to the ground until it stopped wriggling, then stood behind it, released it and climbed on to a nearby wall until it had gone away. Then, I climbed into the ice. I found myself in a large warehouse. Facing me, a distance away, was a tank. It came to life, and I exited. I went in again, but this time, the tank wasn't there. However, Nelson Mandela was. And he was armed. I ran to the side into a maze of boxes and Mandela kept trying to shoot me with his high tech missile launcher. Then, the tank came back. I was trapped, but they couldn't find me because they couldn't enter into the maze (it had two entrances) without running the risk of me getting away. I realized I could smash through some of the walls, so I done so. I found some weapons and returned and fired at the tank, and kept ducking back into cover when it turned to face me, then coming out in a different place. Tags: dreams, nelson mandella, tanks, war

http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/cta/events03/world/iraq/blair25feb_smil/blair25feb.ramBlair and opposition debating the routes we should take in order to alleviate the suffering of the Iraq people, and from time to time, Iraq's neighbours. Iraq has lots of oil. It should be (and was) a rich country. 60% of it's populace only survive because of UN aid. There are 1,000,000 refugees from Iraq (about 100,000 per year over the last 12 years?). No internal political opposition exists to Saddam's dictatorship, all such opposition has been killed, as have all civil opposition movements. His people are living in suffering, oppression and fear, and since the first UN resolution asking him to disarm, in 1991, he has continued his oppression... Blair says that when people says "we should give him more time" that the Iraq people have suffered increasingly over 12 years, and that we have already failed the Iraq people. What is the right course of action? Should we continue sanctions, which affect the people (as Saddam sells the oil) and keep up UN aid to his people, and allow their suffering to continue? War is always the last resort... but I believe we are at the time of last resort, and have been since Saddam kicked the inspectors out in 1998. Every time he has had the opportunity, he has attacked his neighbours, since 1998, he has been building up WMD again. In the face of this, the continued oppression of his people, and his non-co-operation with 12 years of UN resolutions, we have already left it 3 years too late.
