Loc: Long Island, NY USA Apparently the best seller in our government and military circles these days is "Lessons in Disaster", a book about the US path to involvement in Vietnam. Perhaps in the future we can be free of the mortmain of ideology that has sent us down these paths to involvement in conflicts which cannot be resolved by outsiders.

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Hi,kah454
As we are not supposed to drift off to politically tinted items here, I can only add that today's (again French derived) compound word made me think: mortmain >> 'mainly deaths'.
( mainly, because as I listened to the pronunciation of it, it sounded like: 'mordmaine'.)
