The breadth of this optimism is revealed today by the discussion website Edge. Steven Pinker Psychologist, Harvard University, author of The Blank Slate In 16th-century Paris, a popular form of entertainment was cat-burning, in which a cat hoisted on a stage was slowly lowered into a fire. As horrific as present-day events are, such sadism would be unthinkable today in most of the world. This is just one example of the most important and under appreciated trend in the history of our species: the decline of violence. My optimism lies in the hope that the decline of force over the centuries is a real phenomenon, that it is the product of systematic forces that will continue to operate, and that we can identify those forces and perhaps concentrate and bottle them.
North Korea flexed its strategic muscle in its first underground nuclear test in October, ignoring international condemnation and threats of more sanctions. He is still awaiting a trial for alleged involvement in terrorist activities in Afghanistan. Closer to home, violence broke out in East Timor in April, as troops and police fought among themselves in the streets of the capital Dili.

International air travel became more stringent after the Heathrow Airport shut down in London in August because of a suspected serious terrorist threat. It caused chaos and resulted in new restrictions to hand luggage on flights. The Bali nine lost their appeals against 20-year heroin-smuggling convictions, with some sentences increased to the death penalty.

Back home, cyclone Larry smashed the far north Queensland coast in March, with its destructive core flattening Innisfail, south of Cairns.

At the opening meeting in London last night, Sir John Stone, the Metropolitan Area Traffic Adviser, criticised the standard of motorway driving in this country. He said that there was evidence that many of the basic disciplines of motorway use had yet to be learned by British drivers.
Lane discipline was much worse in this country than in America; and the habits of drivers when overtaking were particularly bad. One saw far too much dangerous pulling-out without an adequate signal having been given, and there was a similarly dangerous tendency for drivers to cut in after overtaking. Perhaps the commonest form of misuse however, was the reluctance of drivers of private cars to move into the inside lane whenever it was possible to do so. Sir John said that far too many were determined to stay in the middle or even the outside lanes, regardless of traffic conditions, with the result that drivers wishing to overtake became impatient and tried to follow too closely behind the vehicle in front, thus making accidents more likely. The conference is continuing. Now, the Common Market negotiations. Geoffrey Rippon, the chief negotiator, flew to Brussels last night. Britain has put forward the suggestion that a reasonable contribution would be thirteen to fifteen per cent, built up in a series of equal yearly steps over a period of five years. But the Council of Ministers is considering a recommendation that the British share should be twenty one point five per cent throughout the five year period of transition, or, alternatively, a contribution of between ten and fifteen per cent in the first year rising to between twenty and twenty five per cent in the fifth year.
There have been signs that some European leaders are reluctant to take the present British offer seriously, and it is widely felt in Whitehall that Mr. The pamphlet claims that on balance farmers would be better off if Britain joined the Common Market.
