It's amazing how much we hold on to suffering, and so easily let go of more positive times. But all's not lost, I am older than Mike Tyson.

While I understand that a UK citizen might feel the US Bicentennial was a non-positive moment of suffering, I'm not sure why anyone would mourn and lament moon walks, Sally Ride space rides, Nixon office-leavings, Hawaii-state accessions, and Sputnik launches, or the fact that the planet had a Y2K.

The Planet did not have a Y2K in that context.

The planet has had many times Y2K. Only us poor humans had an artificial Y2K. An invention of our own, along with the superficial run of time we assume the planet has been in existance, and the length of what we assume to be OUR history.

Yes, I'm very aware that the actual planet itself is much older, and that the year Y2K has only an importance in terms meaningful to those humans considering themselves jointly as "the planet" in a generalized way, and even then only those humans who track human time using the Common Era protocol, which is of course existensially meangless in the grand cosmic sense, and which would certainly have had no relevance at all to the antidiluvian reptile-like precursor species which flourished in Antarctica approximately 350,000 BCE, nor to the fierce mega-evolved ratman Empire of T'slaak which will flourish 1,575,000 years hence from this point as we now generally track time.

I don't consider myself a UK citizen John, I see myself as a world citizen and everyone as my brother and sister. I don't believe anyones been on the moon and I don't see space travel or satellite launches as anything but a personal adventure to whatever individual and I'm not interested in politics. Y2k was just like any other day to me, but the bringing down of the Berlin wall was in my humble opinion a chance for the people of that country to become one again and for the rest of the world to learn that we should all be one. Do we learn?

[John Carter]

Hmm. NASA is spending my tax dollars in a PR campaign to convince disbelievers like yourself that someone actually did land on the moon. I wish they'd spend those dollars differently.

Space travel has the potential to realize your one-people dream in a way few other human endeavors do. Given the likelihood of eventual planetary overpopulation beyond Earth's ecological "carrying capacity" for our species, it is also the best bet we have to avoid messily proceeding about our own species self-destruction.

Every group endeavor will seem a "personal adventure" to the distinct individuals that make up that group.

In answer to your query, we learn what we want to learn. I will certainly agree with you that the fall of the Berlin wall was a very good thing. It is perhaps more instructive to the world-citizen to evaluate dispassionately, logically, and completely the myriad reasons the wall fell, and how it got there in the first place. Distasteful as it may be, politics is a large part of that search for understanding. Your desired end-state will never be achieved by ignoring or "being above" the unpleasantly gritty components of what we perceive as day-to-day reality.

I think you are a very good person, dhama, with fine high ideals and great care and love for your fellow human beings. As a student of history, I also know that roads paved only with such ideals, unleavened by the less-elevated mortars of practicality, lead inexorably to the place opposite of their intended destination, just a surely as do those less-noble roads laid by people who operate in the opposition of the fine qualities you possess.

Much better spent in the pursuit of more compassionate ideals I fancy.

I can understand your argument my friend, but there has to be a balance.
There are those that make it and those that break it,
those that love it and those that hate it,
and those like me that would rather just watch the clouds float by.
We're all good in our hearts, and all of our differences make the world an interesting, if not sometimes frustrating place.
