We are somewhat lacking in peace and prosperity today.

I really admire the self determination of the masses in Greece, various other European countries and the Arab world. I have little idea where it is leading, but I admire it.

Well, any society which can make the Athemis Orthia ritual into a tourist attraction in my book is a winner....... Wink

Not only that, they constructed a Amfitheatre around the temple of Artemis Orthia in the late 2nd early 3rd century !!!
