Costly museums and internet

OPAS visionary seminar
I enjoyed meeting you-Ithink he was a professor of history- at the 2004 OPAS visionary seminar recently held at the University centre at the U of M.
Further to our luncheon discussions I would like to reiterate my thoughts that with the progress made in the internet information highway especially web sites access globally, universities have an excellent opportunity to advise and probably dampen the enthusiasm for building costly museums with equally costly maintenance costs. In the future potential tourists may find it too costly not only financially but in time to visit these centers.
With a few clicks of the mouse on their portable lap top they would be able to visit the Loueve in Paris, Cistine chapel in Rome, pyramids of Egypt, etc.
The money saved by governments for these costly buildings and their maintenance could be directed to updating and expanding the “tourist links ‘

March 04/2007- War and terrorism
I fail to see the difference- they both try to kill their enemy there is only a difference of magnitude. Nations or large religious groups execute well organized wars while terrorists employ guerilla or surprise attacks on a small section of the population. Goals are similar- for wars its to conquer a nation or liquidate another army, for terrorists its to demand and/or seek freedom or " human rights ? "rights for a small group.Both sacrifice human lives. - only difference is that in wars the casualty numbers are often unpredictable , for terrorists the numbers are targeted and specific. Both involve the loss of innocent life- In wars its called collateral damage- for terrorists its so called justice
