Do you think good and evil in the world balances out, or do you believe that one is more concentrated on Earth? I'll wait to speak my opinion once someone else does. _smile.gif

What's this "progress" mean? Progress in technology? Progress in economy? If a country wins a war (whatever that means) and that is progress, surely the "loser" of the war has gone through a regression?

1) In a war, for example the United States has recently defeated Iraq in a war. Because the war ITSELF consumes productive goods, BOTH countries are said to have regressed, though clearly Iraq has regressed further.

2) Life is NOT zero-sum. If it were, we'd still be living in a cave and spearing gazelle. Progress in general is progress towards a higher quality of life. That undeniably exists.
