As I was reading Eric's comment, it struck me that our postings to MCML
are kept in the Archives, so our views and writings could be used at some
future time by self-serving folks hell bent on destruction, genocide, or
general mayhem.  Would you be able to project all possible uses that your
writings could be used for by future generations? I sure couldn't - I don't
have an effective crystal ball.
