"Depends on ones definition of "war". How 'bout war of words?"

"Aha! You say that all of those U.S.-manufactured goods were sent gratis with no expectation of reward. The reward is obvious: American workers made the goods, so the more than were supplied to the Soviets, the more jobs there were and more…"

A Tale of Two Friendly Enemies
During the “Cold War” between The United States and the Soviet Union, which went on roughly for 45 years (from 1945 to 1989), they were not technically enemies. Not in the military sense. Not in a formal political way. There had been no declaration of war. Indeed, the United States had never been at war with the Soviet Union. On the contrary, for four longs years they had been allies in a desperate struggle against a common foe. They had cooperated, extensively. The US had shipped a hundred…See More

"I like that Future, chosing not to go too far in the past is a good approach. Mankind had invented horrors like religion by habbit of looking too far back in the history of the universe."
Sidney M. Gonzalez commented on Sidney M. Gonzalez's blog post Life: Where Did It All Start?
""In trying to explain how life came to exist, people have been fixated on a problem of chemistry, that bringing life into being is like baking a cake that we have a set of ingredients and instructions to follow. That approach is failing to…"

Life: Where Did It All Start?
Issue 48 of Cosmos, December 2012 by Robin McKie Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago and life first appeared here about a billion years later. Scientists don’t agree over the processes involved but, according to some theories, extremophiles were involved. Charles Darwin suggested life began in "a warm little pond". Earth's early atmosphere would have been rich in methane, ammonia, and other gases on which lightning and radiation might have acted to create complex organics including amino…See More

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Welcome, Sidney! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Atheist Teachers, LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS, Philosophy (we have lots of philosophy groups), Music Lovers, Sound Advice and Classical Masters.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
