>>I've come to the conclusion that communication is THE key to settling problems large and small, avoiding wars, and allowing civilization to keep up with technology. Global communication over the Internet and its successors may well be the salvation of the human race.<<

Do you mean to say that everybody in the world should learn to speak English? Or did I misunderstand you?
