I am very prone to understanding limitations. Really. It's not an inherently bad thing. Truthful and honest understanding of anything's limitations, be it in terms of the physical capability of things or people or even of philosophical beliefs can only benefit someone. When one looks at the world, whether at other people we know in our lives or say, when it comes to government policy, we see a lot of overreach and arrogance. Even after being given counsel about the limitations of their actions many people still go forward and end up over their heads or in not taking into account the limits of their belief in something turn a blind eye to obvious shortcomings in their philosophy.


That said... I also know that we human beings can allow such thinking to also hem us in. Some need to strive without thought for such things as limits. We are a curious rational/irrational animal that way. So... to that end here's something to inspire:

Not saying I agree 100% but... Something to think about. It's certainly been a debate for a few years now.

Professor Osmo A. Wiio, created these humorous laws in 1978. In the age of the internet they seem more relevant than ever.

Let's be honest... On this subject a Nazi would be the one to know. Heed these words. Far too often in our history, distant and recent, this has been true.

Knowing this, does it mean war should never be the answer? I don't think so. There is no perfection in the world and use of violence by the state is sometimes necessary. But we should use our head when making these decisions more often than we have as a democratic republic in the past. It boggles my mind that after so much recent history there are still so many (especially those that claim some kind of "Libertarian" influence) still seeming in the grips of "My country right or wrong" styled unthinking nationalist passion after a significant chunk of our populace lived through Vietnam and the Iraq war. Even the operations in Afghanistan are now far removed from the direct public safety of the American citizen and yet... We still inject more blood and treasure. Lather rinse and repeat I suppose.

There is great, GREAT value in seeing things from as many sides as possible. Hear is a counterpoint to that though...

Just something to think on.
