Ancient advantage

I too was enthralled by the programme: These men (and women) of science and technology -like us, their modern descendants- were masters of their universe. They did not have 'patents' or learned societies or Universities to measure and record and 'hold' and restrict their efforts: they did have that wonderful inventiveness and freedom of spirit that made them stand on the shoulders of giants -even if they were themselves such! What a testimony to the power of the human state when it is free and unfettered by convention, the past and the power of an administration. I salute our ancestors: theirs is a noble past. Mike B
