  This short contribution is a {\it lite} MESON2000 conference summary. As
appropriate for the 600th anniversary of the Jagellonian University, it begins
with a brief summary of the last 600 years of European history and its place in
hadron physics. Next a ``physicist chirality'' order parameter PC is
introduced. When applied to MESON2000 plenary speakers this order parameter
illustrates the separation of hadron physicists into disjoint communities. The
individual plenary talks in MESON2000 are next sorted according to the
subconference associated with each of the 36 plenary speakers. Finally, I
conclude with a previously unreported Feynman story regarding the use of models
in hadron physics.
