Why sure!
I'll try to be concise.
High tech should be green. I mean, why wouldn't it be? and when I say
"green" I mean non-polluting,
not going to deform the generations of the future, kind of thing.
  You look at the power structures out there today, such as the Republican
party and their basic kernel programing and you see that deep down they are
bringing upon us self-fulfilling prophecies from their belief systems. End
of the World stuff, fear of Jesus's wrath when he returns. Bringing on the
"Apocalypse" which boils it down to they just don't care. What's in it for
today? These guys are frigg'in scary.
  The "Why-bother-the-rapture-is-a-com'in" kind of mentality.

This kind of thinking, and I think we all agree on this, has got to stop.
I'm just scraping the surface of this really. You've also got the Muslim
fundamentalist and every flavor of Christianity etc. involved.
I should go further with this subject, but I'm playing way too much hooky
away from my day job here.
And I need to go back to the more mundane task of earning a living so *I*
have a brighter tomorrow.
