A bit of a simplistic definition of it.

This includes data bases > such as orders, invoices, names, dates, phone numbers, contacts. "Wont anybody think of the Children" What about the people who have been killed in the retaliations since? The trade which has been disrupted? The knowledge lost? Everyone thinks of the people, but eventually everyone dies. The scary thing about "thinking about the people" is that it creates a value judgement on life. How many Iraqis (or any other nation) must die to save the lives of one westerner? Critically, even the people dying and the knowledge lost has not impacted "Western Civilization" so this is still a smokescreen.

Using of language differs from place to place, and even more with a different one, like German. Well, English is not so far away from German (Saxon and this story), but strong as well. Not to forget Britonica... (...and Celts) Best regards, Daniel Mandic

There is nothing which makes me think that the people who died in the WTC had exclusive, globally important, knowledge which has been lost for all time.

There are many more (and more significant) global trading centres than WTC. It was just a name. |
