Robert Owen (rowen@technologist.com) Sat, 16 Oct 1999 quotes:
 >"People make their own history, but they do not make it just as they
 >please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves,
 >but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted
 >from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a
 >nightmare on the brain of the living." -- Karl Marx
And I have a quote in response ...
"If Karl, instead of writing alot about capital, had made alot of it, it would have been much better." --Karl Marx's Mother
(some dark humor for a Monday ...)
