What Price?

There is an old tale about Lady Astor and Winston Churchill who were constantly goading one another.  Seated next to her at a dinner, Churchill asked if she would sleep with him for 10,000 pounds (an astronomical amount of money).
She remarked that she would condescend to do that for that fortune.
"Would you do it for sixpence?" he then asked.
"What kind of woman do you think I am??" she responded indignantly.
"We have already established that.  We are merely haggling over the price."

At what price can intercity be purchased?  This is the true mark of one's morals.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
