Submitted by Joe Radek (United States), Mar 14, 2007 at 12:39

This is a war of the uneducated vs the educated, of people wanting to live in the middle ages vs. people living in a modern world, of people who don't value civil rights vs a society that cherishes freedom and individual rights. of people who fear knowledge and the spread of that knowledge vs. a world that thirsts for knowledge. this is a war of old men holding on to old ideas vs a society that is open to new ideas and new things, of men who treat women like slaves vs a society that treats women as equals ……………

it is a war that the modern world MUST win
