This good news in the Herald Tribune of 14 January 2004 comes from Germany: “Germany’s Defense Minister Tuesday announced plans to save up to 26 billion euros in the armed forces by cutting procurement, reducing troop strength and closing bases. Defense Minister Peter Struck said the plan, the latest in a series to slim down a modernized German military involves shutting about one hundred bases in Germany on top of closures already scheduled, and cutting troop strength by 30,000 to 250,000 over the next few years.”
Well, this is one of the good results of the borderless European Union can we expect that in a few years there will be a European Army instead of 15 national ones?

| | Robert's Golden Sayings | Priorities in life must be determined in relation to the danger of death. This applies to individuals but also to humanity. And humanity today is in danger of death due to planetary mismanagement by nuclear powers.

-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 10 | For centuries the religions have claimed the allegiance of the people, promising them paradise but in reality causing some of the bloodiest wars on this planet. Now nations are doing the same and again the people fall for it.
Do we never learn anything from history?
Dear people, it is high time that you proclaim your allegiance to the planet and to the human family.
Politics and governments must become the servants of that higher allegiance.

Subject: fw: Quote_A_Day: Harvard's Crowded Course On Happiness Hi Robert, I thought you would appreciate this article - below. Now they are teaching what you have been saying for years in colleges all over the USA.
Thanks for living this course and sharing your optimism with all of us.
In Sincere Gratitude, Aleia --- From: CharityFocus
The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up. --Charles L. Morgan
Good News of the Day:
The most popular course at Harvard University this semester teaches happiness. Positive Psychology, a class whose content resembles that of many a self-help book but is grounded in serious psychological research, has enrolled 855 students, beating out all other classes. 35-year-old Tal D. Ben-Shahar, the lecturer who teaches the course, describes how students might increase the likelihood of transformative, positive experiences through exercises that vary from cultivating a sense of gratitude for the beautiful things in their lives and meditation, to taking the time to really listen to music. This article includes more on Ben-Shahar's teaching approach and his six tips for happiness. [ more ]
