Two “Must Reads”.

The first has been making the rounds, but if you haven’t read it, I strongly urge you to. It’s a piece by Science Fiction author Dan Simmons – a “message from the future.” The post at Dan’s site seems to be down, but Google has it cached.

The second was posted tonight at Mostly Cajun. Titled A View from the Eye of the Storm, it’s a look at the current conflict through the eyes of someone with an insider’s perspective.

Read them both. Think on them hard. Because it will be your children and your children’s children who will be living in the future that these two pieces discuss.
