ERRATA to I think, therefore I am ...

Thanks to an alert Reader's watch and quick response, I hope not much "damage" is done in "misinformation" by way of wrong attribuution in Desiderata's precedent post at 12.01 am July 8 titled "I think, therefore I am."

LUKE rightly pointed out that the philosophical quote, "Cogito, ergo sum" originated from Rene Descartes (1596-1650). I confirmed from one source "The New Webster's International Encyclopedia" that Descartes, French mathematician, scientist, philosopher, indeed was the author of this now famous phrase in Meditations on First Philosophy (1641). THANKS,Brudder LUKE!
