| Kathy "Relapsed Catholic" Shaidle, commenting on low-flow shower heads: Be honest. You hate Nature as much as I do. The bugs, the uncooperative weather, the garish green/brown colour scheme. Sane, intelligent people want to live in a totally artificial, silvertoned world right out of a Thin Man movie, with martinis and glamourous gowns and big cars, not eating tofu in a dimly lit basement decorated in Rasta doohickies, with a bunch of stinking emos. Join me . . . in doing your part to destroy Nature once and for all. Make a hippie or little brainwashed kid cry today! |

| #2 Flying cars have been invented, but will never be allowed to be used George Jetson style, Reason? Air Traffic Controllers have nightmares about the idea. |

| #1 I disagree. I want to live in a sleek Thin Man environment with glass walls in the middle of Nature, so I can gaze on its majesty while sipping a drink in air-conditioned comfort. And then I'll turn on the TV. In the Fifties we were promised that the 21st century would mean glass-walled houses in beautiful woodland settings with wall-sized TVs, and we'd commute to work in flying cars. We've made great strides toward the wall-sized TV, but that's it. Where's the rest of it? |
