To understand political power right, and derive it from its original, we must consider, what state all men are naturally in, and that is, a state of perfect freedom to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of nature, without asking leave, or depending upon the will of any other man.
葵丘之会(葵丘会盟、葵丘之盟)
前651年,齐桓公在葵丘(今中国河南省民权县),召集鲁国、宋国、卫国、郑国、许国、曹国等国相会结盟,规定同盟国都要言归于好,齐桓公颁布了天子禁令五条。周襄王派宰孔参加,并赐王室祭祀祖先的祭肉给齐桓公。这表示周天子承认齐桓公的霸主地位,标志着齐国的霸业达到了顶峰。
禁令内容
- 不可壅塞水源
- 不能阻碍粮食流通
- 不可改换嫡子
- 不可以妾为妻
- 不可让妇人参与国事

Gold and Thailand
Thailand’s currency market is entering a very unusual phase, and forex traders are starting to notice that the Thai baht is no longer moving only on the usual drivers like tourism, exports, and interest rate expectations. Gold has become so influential in Thailand’s financial system that foreign investors are increasingly treating the baht as a proxy for gold exposure. That may sound surprising at first, but it makes sense once you look at how strongly gold transactions have begun affecting capital flows and exchange rate behavior inside the country.

Imagine (John Lennon)
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
