2007 Ends, 2008 Starts

The world of computers was relatively quiet this past week. Not so the international sphere with the assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Bhutto. This act of violence clearly signals that the war on terrorism has failed in many respects. And so ends another year with bloodshed amongst people. Every year we look forward to the new one in hopes that it will bring lasting peace; we have crossed from year to year, century to century, millennium to millennium -- and we are still hoping for that elusive thing we call peace. If you believe in prayer (of any type), I suggest that we all start praying daily for peace. The power of our collective energies has to be able to turn this sad situation around. On a personal level, I wish you all a safe end to 2007 and a joyous start to 2008.
