Hi. Marco and all.
I hope you'll excuse me for butting in. I've been lurking MD for years, enjoying
the conversations greatly. The last couple of days are shaking up my patterns a
little bit, so I'm going to just jump in with two feet.
Marco said:
"This is not merely a giant against The Giant. This is not Pearl Harbor. Not an army
against another army. It's more than a war:"
maggie again:
Someone in the news described the Trade Tower attack as an "attack on a way of
life." I think this was more accurate than anybody's perception of this as simply
an attack on the US, something that somehow calls for a nation to nation response.
Now, I agree with Marco when he says this next part, with one difference:
Marco:
"terrorism is a crime against humankind. Or, in other words, a crime of a blind
social pattern against the basic values of the intellectual level."
maggie again:
I don't know that it was a BLIND social pattern.
Perhaps it's a particular INTELLECTUAL pattern that is blind, going off on its own
tangent and not aware of the social and biological needs within the structures that
support it.
These biological-level forces are making themselves heard, I think.
