H.G. Wells on Education

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
-H.G. Wells (1866-1946, British Writer)

Wells was prolific in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games. He is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is called a “father of science fiction,” along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
