The followers of Dr. Mathus thought, in the 1800's, that we would have long ago
reached the dismal state you describe. Guess what? No such luck. As time goes on
I am less and less concerned with the bleats and brays of the naysayers and
luddites. They are a pain, but they are engineering their own obsolescence and
marginalization.
