The Internet can reconnect us all. In 1813 Thomas Jefferson offered a manifesto of Enlightenment which should still give heart to Web authors everywhere:
'That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe for the moral and mutual instruction of man and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature when she made them like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation.'
