I’m surrounded by great inventions. So many great inventions their principal merit is to bring into relief the self-destructive ignorance and ineptitude of far too much of the human race. And to think, now I have to hear about their behavior with unprecedented efficiency. The only possible excuse for the asinine behavior is that we’re very early human beings. Imagine -- the dinosaurs lived for 150-million years and the human race is only about a hundred thousand years old. So I assume we have plenty of time to improve. (to Pat) I don’t want to sound elitist. But before all of these marvels of modern communication came along, educated people, few as there were, lived in castles, while the multitude subsisted in mud huts, no doubt strangling their spouses and children with the same alarming regularity they do such things today. The difference is, there wasn’t “high technology” to send the news of their regrettable behavior over the castle walls. Today the only sanctuary is to live in a castle of the mind. I do once again, and I’m quite content to remain that way.
