o.k., you make some good points and duly noted. however, these times are different. things are faster and the easy access to information is strangely making learning a lost art. it is my belief that never before has the percentage of stupid people been higher. i know there are boards for politics so i won't belabor the point but the current political situation not only in this country but in all developed countries is an indication of that stupidity. is there an answer, a fix? probably not. i think history says there is no going back. well, not since the dark ages but they didn't have computers then.
