Al Gore and the limitations of power By Phil Brennan
In the wake of the Biblical flood survivors migrated to a valley called Sennaar where they settled and came up with a brilliant idea. According to Holy Scripture, somebody said "let us build a city and a tower with its top in the heavens."
The idea, of course was to build a tower high enough to rise above any future floods the Lord might decide to inflict on his wayward children, thus frustrating the Divine will. All the idea accomplished, however was to guarantee a good living for Charles Berlitz and a horde of other professional linguists and translators down through the centuries.
The Bible does not identify the speaker who came up with the idea to defy the Lord, but I have a sneaking suspicion that his name was something like Algore.
