Definition


Non Ending, No limit to.

Cocktail Party Banter


I hope for illimitable riches... that way I can travel the world without a care.

Litarary Context


It seems as only yesterday--it is in fact fourteen long, long years--that I heard him thus holding forth to his pupils, explaining the marvels of the illimitable void, and rendering clear to my understanding the vast distance that exists between the Being that created all things and the works of his hands.

Rr: resource revolts

Michael T. Klare, professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College, writes in a commentary for CBS that rising food and oil prices leading to riots look like "the perfect set of preconditions for a global tsunami of instability and turmoil".  ”Events in Algeria and Tunisia give us just an inkling of what this maelstrom might look like, but where and how it will next erupt, and in what form, is anyone’s guess.  A single guarantee: we haven’t seen the last of resource revolts which, in the coming years, could reach an intensity we scarcely imagine today,” Prof. Michael T. Klare writes.

Ff: Fault Lines

Ff: Fault Lines:
Boundaries of any sort that can flare up into conflict, they can exist within a clan, a village, a region, a country, or between continents of civilization.
Fuller, Graham  A World Without Islam Little (New York: Brown and Company,  2010),  141.





In Context the Idea is Well Expressed by the Following Quote: 
Me against my cousin, me, my brother, and my cousin against the other clan."  (Fuller 141)
