The enclosed database is a handy way to take phone messages. You may change
\nthe fields to suit your needs, but please do NOT distribute modified
\nversions. This program is “FREEWARE!,” meaning it is distributed with no
\nstrings attached. You may want to duplicate the first field, -D, then print
\nout the forms. Now you have handy message forms that you can use to take
\nphone messages. Happy message taking!<\/p>\n

!Freeware is software that is freely distributed via the Internet, local
\nbulletin board systems (BBS), commercial on-line services, and between
\nfriends. There is no charge for individual, non- commercial use.<\/p>\n

\nwarrant or make any representations regarding the use or results of the

WHILE YOU WERE OUT…(C)1996<\/p>\n

And, there was this other thing that I may have not sent you, though I
\nintended to, some time ago:<\/p>\n

This is to suggest attention to a book I have not read, but….<\/p>\n

A foreign policy analyst makes a suggestion that is so intelligent, I have to
\ncelebrate it. The book review says that S.P.Huntington (THE CLASH OF
\nCIVILIZATIONS AND THE REMAKING OF WORLD ORDER) argues for a new look at the
\nworld.
\nHe says the seven or eight current civilizations (remember, Toynbee had
\nfourteen–or was it twenty?–) are
\nWestern (Judeo-Christian)
\nEastern Orthodox
\nLatin American
\nIslamic
\nJapanese
\nChinese
\nHindu, and
\nAfrican (maybe)<\/p>\n

1. He apparently argues that for Civilization “A” to seek to impose on
\nCivilization “B” some of it’s fundamental values
\n(human rights on China, for instance) is probably a total waste of time and
\nresources.
\n2. I suspect he is correct.
\nThese being “true,” then when a national government appears to make this
\nimposition, it can only be to placate home opinion, and the other government
\nobviously knows it. Neither they nor we is stupid.<\/p>\n

To the extent that you are an active practitioner of inter-Civilizational
\nnegotiations, it seems worth my effort to point out one simple fact: Some
\nvalues are fundamental, some are peripheral. It is critical to know (or, at
\nleast, have a feeling for–which most of us do) which is which. 2\/12\/97.
