What's your verdict? pg 5

Two archeologists, Professor DiPalermo and Professor Shuster, were deciphering some stone law tablets from the Middle East dating back before 2000 B.C.E. Looking up from his work, Professor DiPalermo commented that, while the amount of knowledge held by humanity had increased dramatically, its basic nature had not changed. Professor Shuster agreed, saying, "Just compare the laws they had way back then with the ones we have now. We're still making the same mistakes and still need the same protection from the conduct of others.?"
