Not For You

Mark Eby — 5/18/2002 4:00:54 PM (archived)

You'd have to be published in a respectable historical journal or at least interviewed on a news program before you can become a famous historian.

I agree in general with your and Tom's assessment with regard to mankind's response and the potential consequences however. I sure hope it doesn't come to that. 9/11 makes it obvious that even the smallest potential impactor striking a major city would cause a global economic disaster that might take quite some time to recover from in addition to the potential loss of life normally mentioned. I'm afraid such an economic disaster might delay adequate response as resources might be focused more on recovery than prevention. I hope we have more sense than that as a civilization, but the political sheninigans of late make me wonder.

Regards,
Mark
