    Hi Lawrence DeBivort -

    Regardless of the comfort of 'golden-aging' things like ancient Greece
    (the white boys heaven), and Egypt (heaven for the black boys), it would
    seem that, now that we can in essence, see the world entire, that your
    certainty here is well-founded.

    One can only hope there are efforts and mechanisms to bring such
    desirable health to fruit.
