robinblokePerhaps I'm just a mishmash of conflicting ideas, like most of my ramblings. I'd like to say I'm at least semi-happy, maybe not proud, to be 'British'; the country has done ~some~ good things and yes, a hell of a lot of bad ones. But then maybe thats just foolish pride wanting a history to look back on thats something I can connect myself to. Sometimes I feel a little sad that countries like France have a far stronger national identity than England, other times it worries me.
I don't think human beings, psycologically as we are right now, will ever be ready for a unified system of life; there are too many differences right from the word go when you first see someone and you start noticing differences - are they male/female, is their hair longer, are their clothes cooler... etc etc.
Until we all come preprogrammed from a asexual cloning machine there will always be differences, and by the nature of what we have evolved from - a biological badass that has developed to replicate itself and wipe out other biological badasses in order to survive - we invariably look for conflict in mental, social and physical situation. Perhaps its fundamental that we need conflict in one way or another to survive, because I really don't think we're ready for a peaceful society as a race - look through human history and find me a century - no, a year even, when there wasn't a war or a battle -somewhere-.

Which I do crave - but cannot see on the horizon right now.
