just thinking after a few hours discussion re the process of national revolution and the outcome of real national change on a family/personal level how few countries on earth have ever had to go through the essential changes implicit in the real nexus of continual revolution....the americans...the french...the russians and the chinese......some failed over time and some succeeded really, really well, but at least they all have tried, and always quite vigorously, and totally viciously. i guess things must have got pretty bad before normal people, usually focused on self, family and own meaning-love, got that upset. it's something that will never happen to Australia because we can't be that important to anyone in our situation and position, like Fiji, but still, i think we can appreciate what they have, all in common, overcome to be as proud as they are and as certain as they are as to how things should be for them. I understand america and china. france really doesnt matter. as it stands now, there's two massive world powers, america and china, one is really broke and one is really rich. We will let the historians decide the real moralities of epoch rise and fall.
