Musings from 2006
Mar. 7th, 2023 05:28 pmI just found some musings I jotted down back in Feb 2006:
Does catholic school teach kids to be righteous or how to keep up appearances that they are (especially if parents and/or teachers only keep up appearances)?
Is US foreign policy and free market ideology sapping the US society at home and abroad? From POV of open/closed systems: opening/closing systems do not reach balance easily whereas more or less closed systems do. Example: dictatorships and communist countries reached a balance that was undone suddenly by the collapse and void of power. Controlled transitions from closed to open markets allow some checks and balances in the system pitting national interest over competing mercantile interests.
