Hundreds of years from now I think things will be much improved. <BR/><BR/>In that sense we are living through a transition period, a frustrating time when, what seem perfectly reasonable and rational explanations to us, are rejected out of hand by those who prefer comforting myths.<BR/><BR/>How do we counter the destructive meme? - with the positive meme - 'education'. As long as those who 'know' continue to share their knowledge there is hope. <BR/><BR/>But what of those countries and cultures that surpress education? I think this reinforces the point that education is key, otherwise why do they fear it so? But that's another story...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
