In a thoughtful post a few days ago Marc wrote:

America will continue to wage war, it has to - it makes too much money from War. Its baked into our country's DNA.

The post seemed to imply that war is necessary to maintain the lifestyle of this country. It's a very disturbing point of view.

There has to be another way.

Then this morning, listening to the Italian radio over the web, I heard about the celebration for the 50th anniversary of the Rome Treaty, which was the base upon which the European Union was founded.

Europe has never been wealthier than today, and all this happened thanks 50 years of peace, where countries which tried to destroy each other now only a few decades ago, are now sharing the same laws, the same money and the same values.

Here's the other way :-)

For the next couple of weeks I'm going to be in Nothern California to help changing the social networking world with my friends.

Dave is wondering about what future Twitter might have.

In a recent good Cisco commercial they talk about "people subscribing to people, not magazines".

As I heard that line I immediately thought about RSS, but I'm afraid even today a lot of people would think about Twitter and similar services.

Is Twitter the RSS for people with not much to say?
