Protest

I happened upon this small protest group while visiting the university campus. They were mainly upset about a recent ruling against abortion but were also protesting nuclear arms for being illegal.

They might not have been so upset if only they knew that today was National Handwriting Day. 


Writing is the element that separates prehistory from history, is a key skill that elevates human civilization, and allows us to communicate and trade on a large scale. Writing not only lets us record our thoughts and feelings but, more crucially, for the development of early societies, it gives us a way to record transactions, count items, and pass on information to future users.
