I really enjoy reading your links. they are always interesting.
I was going to leave you a nice comment on your "Quote for the Day" I read the link to Black Sun Journal, Bill Joy's article, the Greenfield article, & some other stuff.
Unfortunately, my well thought out comment that I'd pondered over a few days got lost as I accidentally unplugged my computer & hadn't saved it on word pad. :(
Maybe we can discuss the subject this weekend. :)
Gah.....Another promising young comment is cut down in the prime of life by a volatile-memory glitch.....tragic.....
Hey, if this is the sorta thing that's going to happen when i get my brain hooked up to a computer....Well, my brain won't be much different then it is now.
Great links.
I live in the Washington, DC suburbs and am constantly appalled at the weekly (it seems to be weekly anyway) reports of yet another murder in the area. It really is astonishing.
