 P.> Man!!  Talking with you is like getting hit in the head with a
 P.> history book.  Now we've got to go out in search of a "Melian"
 P.> and learn about his/her/their/its "Dialogue."  :-)  Then we'll
 P.> have to track down Roosevelt and Churchill and ask them about
 P.> their "Four Freedoms" program and see if it's worth watching.
 P.> (On second thought, maybe this old Fleetwood Mac video will
 P.> do.)

 CJ> Now, Frank, how many people here do you think would really
 CJ> have recognized that reference to _The Peloponnesian War_,
 CJ> Thucydides? (IMHO, this book should have been required reading
 CJ> for all U.S. college students during the Cold War.)

 FM> Well, I suppose that in time and with adequate instructions
 FM> from you and Todd Henson I may learn how and what to write in
 FM> my posts here. I probably SHOULD just keep silent until I KNOW
 FM> that what I write will meet the approval of a variety of
 FM> different people with different experiences.  I stand, like a
 FM> child, admonished and corrected.

        Forever, forever, on Fidonet there is a strong component
DETERMINED that we shall not reach anything constructive or adhere
to a central point in a debate.  Behold, how the issue becomes and
REMAINS how I should have worded my post and the reaction of
readers depending upon their precise level of understanding and
above all their FEELINGS about it.
