Question of the Week 10/17/03:

This week we have a simple, philosophical question, drawing on the wisdom of George Santayana:

IF THOSE WHO CANNOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT… WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE?


I think the truer proverb is: "Those who cannot remember who said something are condemned to repeat what he said over and over again regardless."  I mean, George Santayana?  Who is he?

We are at war with Eurasia and allied with Eastasia.

History? Bah! All knowledge of the human word animal, is insignificant, when his fictitious word world is compared to Nature's own Dynamic & Harmonic Time Cube's Creation  Principle. (verbatim www.Timecube.com)

Addendum added 11/12/03:
