Good article. One paragraph really showed how fragile our species is--especially with retarded children carrying loaded pistols:

"If chaos theory taught us anything, it's that societies head off in all kinds of directions we couldn’t predict. Fifty years ago, if we had taken a slightly different path in industrial chemistry and used bromine instead of chlorine, we’d have burned out the entire ozone layer before we knew what the hell was going on, and the world would have been very different. There’s always scary stuff out there that we may not know about. You can’t predict the future. You can just try and plan for it."

As for how it is today...
