I have decided to continue on studying Mathematical Logic and our system as is expessed by Mr's Russell and Whitehead in their Principia Mathematica. Truely my interest lies in the complexity itself, more so than the actual mathematical content. I shall pursue this at leisure; that is, probable sporatic posts for the next few months but with greater regularity in the summertime.
 
As time has passed intruders from Europe have held any number of different views of North American Indian peoples, their ways, beliefs and abilities. As sympathies towards them have ebbed and flowed with generational changes, Indians have largely keep their own council, objecting mainly only to the most offensive practices such as taking away and displaying human remains in museums and twisting and distorting their cultures for popular amusement. Whatever else is said, the Indian iconography is fused into dominant culture here, and around the world.
