    Not a bad idea, though, to keep in mind that 5,000 years from now, Richard, 
we'll be just as dead as the Egyptians of the Middle Kingdom who wondered why 
the mediation of the gods through the Pharoah had broken down.   What will 
those who live THEN think of our PRESENT and our response to it?
