Not really...it just looks like it has. Technology is a funny thing;
there are two things that have never changed: The choices we make, and
the way we treat people. From the Abacus to the atom bomb, we're all
still doing the same kinds of things, it's just nowdays we're spending
less time doing laundry.
Einstein addressed Congress in the wayback; he said "Modern man sees
himself as a higher being of sorts with his new technology, over the
primitive man. But the primitive man knows how to make his *own* bow
and arrow; the rest of us can make no such claim." (Paraphrased)
In the issue above, there's abstinence, or there's a 99% chance-
never 100, kinda like in germ-killing. Only one course of action
prevents problems with this issue; isn't that odd?
