SC - Introduction

[Laura C Minnick]

Just a random comment here-

	I don't use the phrase "The Middle Ages as they _should_ have
been"- because that implies a value judgement that I think we are not in a
position to make. I'm not into revisionist history. I DO say "the Middle
Ages as it _could_ have been"- Kinder, gentler, more responsibility to
honor, fewer germs, no religious persecutions... although I know that the
Plague changed the face of Europe not only by killing people but also by
disrupting and rearranging the economic systems- it could have been
different but it wasn't. 

Just a small semantic thing, but it changes the view for me...
