The James Logan Courier

History shows us how the wars for occupying land (and the resources that come with it) have been going on for a long time. The discovery of America provided most of it during at least three hundred years until independent movements from many colonies started to take place. Although no more “physical territory” remains visible for grabs, we continue to fight an ongoing battle for a more subtle “space”.

Each human being is born with a personal record composed of inherited DNA which is also part of a larger collection of data where evolution leaps have been “engraved”. Even though we have not had a mutation deep enough to differentiate our specie beyond those changes necessary to adapt to a specific climate, the immense bundle of information that we handle now days could never be compared to that of five decades ago. Therefore, we have been developing efficient ways to store and handle enormous packets of it.

From wikipedia:
Harold Eugene "Hal" Roach, Sr. (January 14, 1892 – November 2, 1992) was an American film and television producer and director, and actor from the 1910s to the 1990s.

Hal Roach was born in Elmira, New York. A presentation by the great American humorist Mark Twain impressed Roach as a young grade school student.

After an adventurous youth that took him to Alaska, Hal Roach arrived in Hollywood in 1912 and began working as an extra in silent film. Upon coming into an inheritance, he began producing short comedies in 1915 with his friend Harold Lloyd, who portrayed a character known as "Lonesome Luke." In 1915 Roach married actress Marguerite Nichols. They had two children, Hal, Jr. (1918–1972) and Margaret (1921–1964).
