Morning, my fine fellow ponder-ers!
I was away (or busy) most of the weekend, so I have some catching up to do....
LA29, glad to hear things are going well! Also glad to hear that you are 'drawing a line' so to speak. We are here if you need us.
MSG, love the cats!
Neko, I am not sure what's going on with our emails...I responded to your latest, but I am going to guess it did not get there, as I don't have a response yet...arrgghh.
Mmm...pumpkin seeds....*drool*
CMH, thank you for that desription of the jumping! Not sure it is something I would ever want to do, but it sounds like a great experience.
MSG, sorry...I have a picture in my mind of you spinning in a circle wildly firing a machine gun... 
You may be small, but I would still think twice about tangling with you!
Magda! You don't need weapons....that smile would disarm brigades at a time! 
JTD, as to your war ponderance...I am of the school of thought to always be prepared for war but have peace as the first and most preferable option. If war is to be, then practice total war, and don't stop until you are victorious. Sorry, I know that is not really a popular concept of war...
PR, good on ya! Importing now, are we?
CMH once again...good choice of poem. I like that.
Good morning to everyone else I missed. Been awhile, ASortaFairyTale...where ya been?
Time for more coffee...I shall return shortly.

There is nothing anywhere that compares to the joy of Mango. But what kind of Mangoes do you eat that aren't sticky?
And I meant to mention it earlier, but I absolutely love your Golden Rose. It's so magical, so regal, so feminine. So...You. It's perfect.
And mega-watt vibes being sent on the Nico visit, BTW. That would Rock!

Could it be that those who regretted couldn't talk?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Live it, brother, live it. All of our blood with either be food or dust or both someday anyway.

Grocery stores for one. "BUT IIIII WAAAANNNNNNNT OOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!" Enough to make you want to pour a little kerosine into their wide-open pie hole. And I like kids!!

the unfortunate downside to preparing for war but attempting diplomatic means first is that preparing for war can rather give the impression it's your intention. which doesn't do much to aid peacable solutions. for myself, i think it depends on the circumstance's. sometimes you stand a better chance of achieving a peaceful ending through a position of strength, sometimes you really don't. so, you know, circumstance's circumstance's.
Ah! What is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?

War and Peace. I don't think we're talking about building up our strength whilst we are at the table. I'm thinking that the position of strenth option is that we are strong and ready all the time, not just when on the verge of potential crises. Might ensures the peace, as it were. I for one don't go into biker bars and tell them they're all sly, just because I'm sure that, except maybe for those who really are sly, I would come face to (sur)face with the nearest table top. However, most of the bikers I know (and I admit there aren't many) have all been gregarious to a fault.
Likewise a nation can have a top-notch military and arms to go with, and still be beneficent in the world's eye. Remember how nice everyone one was to us right after 9/11? I remember the Friendly Giant TV show being on when I was a kid. (Rarely watched it as I was a Captain Kangaroo man myself; wonder if between that and the yearly religious viewing of the Wizard of Oz, makes me love the folks down under? Aww, who am I kidding? There is only one reason for that (besides your "adorable" marsupials): Olivia. Been fan since '75.)
I digress. The whole concept of the Friendly Giant was centered on the oxymoron of his name, not unlike the "Good Witch" concept in the Wiz: to set preconceptions on their ear. I for one do not believe that being fully prepared for war is a mandate constantly to be at war. Until recently, nobody "dared" to bother us because we were a superpower. It was pretty much in everybody's interest (from an global economic stand point alone) to leave us undisturbed. The playing field has changed and we are trying to adjust. Doesn't mean that we (the Pentagon) are trying to escalate anything. We have diplomats to do that for us...
