Saving Digital History
Gavinsblog writes "The Washington Post
is reporting that the Library of Congress in the U.S. plans to initiate the $100 million National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP). It is hoped that the project will lead to the preservation of data that is constantly changing on the Internet. But I wonder who will choose what is worth saving?" This may remind you of the LOC's effort to preserve and digitize the audio collection in the National Recording Registry.
The most horrible humanitarian tragedy is about to happen, and all you people can do is talk about a shuttle explosion? My *god*, folks, get some priorities here!

Oh what a shame. We'll so be violating his human rights.
Notice how France (economic ties) is crying about this, but many of the mid-east countries are silently helping the US out big time...
See how long Isreal lasts once Iraq gets the big bomb.

I agree with your point, but one thing to note...
People have been saying Christianity is 'dying' or 'going to die' for thousands of years.
It hasn't happened yet.
Just some food for thought.
