Re: seem to be
What a feast for discussion you have prepared today! The wheels of history grind slowly as a rule, but occasionally catastrophic events do occur, or threaten. Giant tsunamis, Hiroshima and Krakatoa have occurred. Nuclear annihilation has been a threat for 50 years, but is hardly ever mentioned any more.....The threat of global warming has now taken over as our chief preoccupation, with it's possibility of snuffing out hundreds of millions of us. But happenings quiet at the time, like Gutenburg's printing press circa 1439, and more recently Tomlinson's email in 1972, and capped off by Berners-Lee and Cailliau's World Wide Web in 1990, have and will make the biggest differences in human history in my estimation. They are the developments which give the best chance to mankind for adapting world-wide democracy. Communication is what it's all about. EG, Calgary

I've been a subscriber to Mark Kolke's Daily Musings for some time now, but haven't been receiving them lately--say for the past two weeks. I just tried to re-subscribe and was prompted that I am already a subscriber. Any ideas as to what may serve as a remedy? Thanks, DT, ?
