Dom, your clever humour in making your point having been noted, plagiarism is taken too lightly. I was pleasantly surprised to find my quote headlining a website page without listing my name and worse, the last sentence has been omitted. The entire page is lifted from the BBC. See http://adishakti.org/drumbeat_of_death.htm. “We end this century, as we began, not any closer to a consensus for human existence....." My original submission was to BBC and is at this page http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/580121.stm. For whatever reason BBC decide to flatter me with two quotes, the one I am referring to is the second one at the BBC link. In its entirety it reads: "We end this century, as we began, not any closer to a consensus for human existence. No political ideology, no religion, no technology, no science, no economic theory, no media, no sport, no guru has convinced us of our purpose. As we drift into the next century one hopes we won't kill as many, destroy the environment and ignore the poor, as we try to make sense of it all. The good in us should not permanently die.
