In so much that those with much power would surrender to communities and their ideals of love. Computers show us when information moves fast enough; it becomes control. The control structures of society are not always democratic, in fact merchants and banks behave as the aristocracies of the dark ages. Could you help communicate some light? Thank you, Michael Hughes P.S. If we don't love what we can see, how can we love what we don't see? Hello,
