It sweeps out the old and brings in the new.It creates new channels of communication, new patterns of growth. Right - That's why in every war in modern history the generals and their pupetmasters have been prepared to fight the previous war.... Face it, war is indeed hell. And it's inevitability, if it is as inevitable as it seems, hardly makes it good in any way shape or form. Painfully necessary on rare occassion, but good? But I will now behave and absent myself from any continuation of this thread as I know full-well it really doesn't belong on this list, even if some truly great war photography has been done with Leicas.....;-) B. D. It is the central process of history. It is the most important single undertaking of civilization, which is why it commands the single largest expenditure of civilization. Individuals may spend more on food and shelter, but when those same folks combine, they spend they pool their money and spend it on war or preparations for war. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
