Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine,
figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Yet this one -- by which I mean the internet -- seems to. Last week,
it was unweaving our concentration:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/21/technology/21brain.html. This week,
it preserves, even restores, civilization.
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
