Theos-Talk Archives (October 2010 Message tt00180)

Thanks for the vote of confidence. 

Personally I'm not that convinced though that the TS is in a position to expect a new dawn in this vehicle. Or more plainly: is this winter, or is this disease that kills? Is the vehicle developed in the 19th and early 20th century still fit for what humanity needs in the 21st? And if it isn't, can and will it be changed to fit humanity as it is now? 

I really don't know - however, here's my latest:
