Generally Whiggish

Random thoughts for today...

World War 1 - Could this have been prevented if men had pursued justice instead of aggression/revenge/blood lust?

World War 2 - Often considered the good war... Is war ever good? Obviously it is necessary given the state of man, but does that make it good? Or is that just semantics?

Speaking of semantics, linguistics is a fascinating field to study:
How do you pronounce these words?
Pin/Pen
Caught/Cot
Are they the same? I love language change. It really is too cool.

For those of you who are economic addicts:

P.S. I've been told I would make a good whig... hence the title.
