    About this ebook

    (En anglais) A preface notes that trouble is brewing in the Pacific, and wishes to avert a potential world war by offering a suggestion of swapping territory. Chapter 1 suggests the Philippines give up some islands between Taiwan and the Philippines in exchange for consideration of islands to the southwest. It suggests that Japan, UK, France, Austalia, New Zealand and the US give up some islands in the Pacific Ocean in exchange for concessions near the borders of Vietnam, Japan and of Southeast Asian countries. It notes that strategic position in war is counterbalanced by the morale and will to fight the war, that keeps alliances together, the home front resolved that they fight in a just cause. It suggests questions of principles over barren bits of island territory should best be consigned to pragmatic consideration of military security and economic access to resources. Chapter 2 discusses the expansionist tendencies of nations based on the chosen people mentality to claim territory in disregard for the interests of those absorbed into new borders. (In French) Une préface note que ennuis se prépare dans le Pacifique, et souhaite éviter une guerre mondiale potentiel en offrant une suggestion du territoire échange. Chapitre 1 suggère que les Philippines abandonnent certaines îles entre Taiwan et les Philippines en échange d'une contrepartie d'îles au sud-ouest. Il suggère que le Japon, Royaume-Uni, France, Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande et les États-Unis donnent quelques des îles dans l'océan Pacifique en échange de concessions près des frontières du Vietnam, du Japon et des pays d'Asie du Sud. Il note que les positions stratégiques dans la guerre est contrebalancé par le moral et la volonté de lutter la guerre, qui maintient des alliances ensemble, le front intérieur résolu que ils se battent pour une juste cause. Il suggère des questions de principes sur les bits arides du territoire de certaines îles devraient mieux être expédiés à l'examen pragmatique de la sécurité militaire et l'accès aux ressources économiques.

    Edward E. Rochon

    I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
