This is the age of fear and so many of us feel afraid to speak out about what has happened to our lives in the wake of 9/11.

Every passing year brings us more past futures. Here in Europe they had a Dark Age so extensive, radical and obliterative that everyone forgot how to speak Latin. It's counterproductive to blither on about "the" future. It's always somebody's future, and we're not who we used to be.
