Do you know that someone diverted Uranium from the USA atomic program to Russian in 1943 ?
Wouldn't that have been a tip off that 'spies' would also steal the know how to build an atomic bomb ?

Oil is a commodity as is wheat. We were helping to feed evil during Cold War One because it's all about the Benjamins. Same as it ever was and will be.

If I'd been right about everything, as a good machiavellian you'd never admit it.

Having read The Prince, I'm pretty sure your PC's Machiavelli. The Art of War is where it's at.
So, you don't even have a clue as to what the common good is. Where are you pushing on to if you don't even know where your going? Sounds like your wandering aimlessly.

As you recently told me, you are totally wrong about everything.

Your right.
Which means your wrong.
Right or wrong?

Why?
But right vs, wrong, good vs. bad, are fundamental, the basis and result of all decision-making. Without them the wheels would spin endlessly. And they are subjective and not definable in physical or logical terms. They are as necessary as our ability to locate ourselves in space and time, two more concepts that we cannot fully define or grasp.

An excellent example of aimless intellectual wandering.

Unless you're completely missing the point. Is that conceivably possible, either by happenstance, or on purpose?

I'm thinking that you didn't get #23's point which is probably why I didn't get your point. Or is your point that you don't have to have a point to have a point. But what do I know? As you recently pointed out, I'm always wrong.
