...again.
Everything seems to be as usual. Reading the news, reading blogs, observing things going on around us all seems to be a replay of things that have all happened before. Different names. Different places. Different happenings. Same old, same old.
If there had been a comcast.net back in the first millenium, what would the headlines have been? On today's comcast.net home page the number one story is "Bush Compares Iraq to World Wars."
In A.D. 476 it would have been "Western Roman empire ends as Odoacer, German chieftain, overthrows last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, and becomes king of Italy"
conflict...
Another headline today is "Robertson called for the assassination of Venezuela's president."
In A.D. 54, the headline would have been "Claudius poisoned, succeeded by Nero."
power...
One more headline today is "Last Jewish Settlers Leave Gaza Strip"
In A.D. 637, the headline would have been "Arabs conquer Jerusalem"
redundancy...
Can someone tell me how we are more civilized than the first millenium?
just asking...
