Re: On the selective use of technologies

To Randy Lusk

WHY THE PAST IS GONE
copper tanks are not energy efficient for washing clothes
vegetable gardens sometimes get destroyed by natural pests
eight track cartridges were notorious for breaking tapes
horses have not enough horsepower for modern roads and loads
abaci are slow when compared with computers
few can afford hand made leather (or other)goods

WHY THE PRESENT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
solar energy stores only 20% of collected energy
wind towers kill birds and need huge transmission cables
cell phones do cause some brain damage on max usage
wars on ideas like poverty and terror cannot ever end
the poor will always be with us

WHY THE FUTURE CANNOT WORK
UTOPIAS have always failed
projection is for movies-mass distraction
2012 is just another year
Calendars are like tunings-different for cultures
Diversity can result in discord
All prophecies have so far been proven(wrong)
