Thanks, guys.
Thrive: "To me it seems possible that if people could notice and
understand how we keep generationally repeating our past mistakes,
that we can purposefully NOT repeat a mistake one day, and cause an
alteration in our trajectory. Your work is incredibly valuable in
increasing our awareness."
I wish this were true, but in the seven years that I've been doing
this, I've become completely convinced that people and nations NEVER
learn from the past mistakes. In particular, the disastrousness of
what's going on today in Washington, New York, and throughout the
world is breathtaking.
Dave: You've already bought me lunch.
Jack: The new daily news summaries are working out pretty well so far,
and are increasing web site traffic. The downside (for me), of
course, is that they're time consuming, but their informality makes
them easier to write than the more formal analyses.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
John
