Hahaha, thankyou.

Have you compared now to a hundred years ago? A thousand? The world is as peaceful as it has ever been. More children have food and water than ever. Almost nobody has slavery as a component of their economy. I can fly anywhere in the world, and do so in a day. The world's knowledge is in one repository again for the first time since the sack of the library of Alexandria. There is more democracy in the world than there was a century ago - only China and a handful of little empires still wreck the stats. There is enough food to feed everyone if local politics didn't get in the way. Microsoft spawned the Gates Foundation. Crop yields are rising with the temperatures. Britney Spears has forsaken panties.

OK there's still rap music, post modernism, the military industrial complex, over-fishing, organised religion, tinpot dictators, Rupert Murdoch, political correctness, and American "culture". Life is still a struggle for 90% of the human race, but I really believe it is a better struggle than it was before. Every generation climbs on the shoulders of the last. Look at the good things you've got.

A new millenium has dawned. The glass is half full and filling with every generation.

My celebration is Christmas. May your chosen celebrations be merry.

C'mon... this can not be done!

Have you seen the Unicef reports, the global heating problem, the african reality, etc etc etc? Don't be a zealot... the Merry XMas can not be done, neither as the CMDB

With just a little of irony, regards and Merry XMas... it can not be done, but it can be a good wish for all of us.

Let 2007 be a better year for everybody, and have my best wishes!!
