...some other industrialized countries. Government and business representatives from the G8 industrialized nations met in Paris Monday to discuss proposals for dealing with a new generation of cross-border, or more correctly, borderless crimes - after all, the Love Bug was a sharp and painful reminder that if the concept "place" exists at all on the Internet, then cyberspace allows us to be everywhere at once, and a nasty little worm freed in a suburb of Manila can within hours crash the computer systems of some of the world's most powerful conglomerates...
...abused. When the decision was made to stage Twelfth Night in the California redwoods during the Beat Generation of the 1950's, there may have been a good reason to do so. It appears, however, that that reason parted from the production sometime between the formation of the concept and opening night. Thus was the audience left to face a set comprised of three movable stumps and a Lego-like bridge structure, dramatic staging which seems to overlook fundamental plot and character issues and a group of actors who struggle to preserve the meaning of the text in an Illyria...

But they also wanted to have their state defined by the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. The concept of freethinker was so specifically German, and thus it became unpopular after the Anti-German backlashes during and after WWI and WWII, when all German enthusiasms became unpopular. To survive, free thinkers became Unitarians-and then humanists. God has not made himself known to us, and thus we expect...
