First and foremost, I would like to thank my mother. She taught me how to read and appreciate books long before any school-teacher did. More than anyone else in the world, she has taught me the value of determination, demonstrating in her own life the power of human will to overcome enormous odds to ultimately prevail. She taught me how to fight. She is indeed my Sarah Conner.
I would like to thank my father, a man of extraordinary proportions, who taught me that there is far more to life than meets the eye, that the human mind is filled with awesome capacity and potential, and that the way to understanding the world and yourself involves more than a handful of disciplines and knowledge. Thank you Dad, for showing me the way.
I thank my sister and brother, both of whom my life would be lonely and incomplete without their continued support and love. In times when I began to feel arrogant, they pointed out my shortcomings and encouraged me to grow and improve. I love them, I love my family - including my dogs and cat who cannot read this sentence yet nevertheless assuredly know that I love them.
I wish to thank everyone in the Internet cyberspace, and I trust and encourage all of you to print and distribute in any form this work of mine. Please keep my work unaltered and ensure I am credited with this manuscript. Hopefully together we will bring to light the material contained herein and I will be at peace knowing I have written something worthwhile for everyone. I hope eventually this will exist in book form for those less fortunate without access to a computer.
Finally, I wish to thank again all the men and women whose books I have ever read, for without them my mind would not be able to conceive of and enjoy the immense beauty and diversity of humanity.
Live long and prosper, all of you!
