The Foundations of Civilization

One of my former co-workers, Greg Kucharo, once challenged anyone interested to compile a list of personal Foundations of Civilization. He specified that the list contain the 42 things you feel you could not possibly be civilized without, in no particular order. The number 42 was, of course, suggested by Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Alas, Greg has abandoned this noble idea for the moment and is flirting with Great Architecture instead.

However, before Greg defected, I had already created the following list of Foundations of Civilization, and at least a few other people are at work on their personal lists. I'd be happy to put in links to other people's lists on this page, so if you have a list of your own, please mail me the URL.

Jim Swonger e-mailed me his list in progress, so check out Jim's current list now and I'll put up his finished version if he sends it in once he completes it.
