SOROS, That is very interesting and something I had not thought about in that way. It helps to know a lot about historical events. The flu epidemic is something I have only recently been aware of. 25 million is a lot of people and that was before antibiotics. Since then knowledge has certainly increased (a book of Daniel prophecy about the last days) in the area of medicine as well as many others. Until this century what could man boast about in technological advancement. This century alone has been astounding like no other. Medicine is one area, as well as things like the use of electricity which has made so many other things possible. Automobiles have change society as well as television later in the century. The machine gun was a terrifying weapon in WWI but 30 years later --ONLY 30 YEARS!!-- we saw whole cities destroyed by the power unleashed in nuclear explosions. The first successful powered flight has lead to men traveling through space and landing on the moon after only roughly 70 years. The first crude computers emerged in the 40's and now the world is virtually run by them. And now our advancements may be our downfall with Y2K. I just watched a show on PBS - Tony Brown's Journal- about it and his guest - Dr. Ed Yardeni - thinks it's very serious. He made it sound like we are in for some serious disruptions in our economies. Yardeni has a web site. I need to find it and see what he has to say. Take care, Bob PS Found it. yardeni.com cya
