X-Message-Number: 28230 References: <> From: Steve Jackson <> Subject: Canada in 2020 Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 13:40:43 -0500 Cheers for making the attempt. I do not understand the first sentence, and fear that casual readers may find it offputting. It doesn't properly introduce the theme. "In the year 2020 no-one expected that one of Canada's biggest problems would be life-saving technology. " The whole essay is about how life-saving technology comes to exist, and flowers in 2019. (Optimistic, I agree, but it's an essay.) So in 2020, the technology is not a problem at all . . . it's an asset! Perhaps what you want is something more like: "In the year 2020 one of Canada's greatest assets was its life-saving technology." Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=28230
