The following is forwarded from a friend of mine without net access.
It`s either a set of platitudes or an astute observation, take your
pick.

Arguably the two most significant dates in Human History both occurred
in July.  On the 20th, in 1969, a man walked on the Moon.  On the
16th, in 1946, a bomb was exploded at Trinity in New Mexico.  The first
may someday result in humanity freeing itself from the bonds of Earth.
The second may someday result in the Earth freeing itself from the bonds
of humanity.

Most amazing of all, these dates are only 4 days and 23 years apart.
