IN THE BEGINNING
In the beginning was the message. It was the same message that was born with every generation thereafter: Man is Freeborn,
The message at first held no beauty, and it was little desired. But as often as man cast it aside, buried it, or sold it for pennies, the message returned. As humanity expanded, the message was carried to different lands. Its value began to take root in certain men. These men became known as messangers, and they took it upon themselves to sanctify and protect the message.
There was a man by the name of Cyrus, the Persian, who admired the message. His system of communication during his campaign against the Greeks in 546 B. C. gave birth to the difinitive 'Messanger'. The historian from Greece, Herodotus, penned it, "NEITHER SNOW, NOR RAIN, NOR HEAT, NOR GLOOM OF NIGHT STAYS THESE COURIERS FROM THE SWIFT COMPLETION OF THEIR APPOINTED ROUNDS".
The message was now two: Message and Messanger. Born of the two was the third, and it was called Method. Method had many forms and shapes, and centuries passed before a chosen vessel stepped forward. In 1456 Johann Gutenberg offered the results of movable type. Perfected now was the trinity, and it searched the universe for its next birthplace, which was to be its finest hour.
The message followed after the setting sun, for the prophets of the east had spoken of a land of milk and honey, a desolate land that would burst forth in beauty.
