Robert, Good post. Makes me remember a quote: "The trouble with the world is that the fools are full of conviction and the intelligent are full of doubt." --Bertrand Russell

Hi Robert; Re>> I could argue that we are smarter now but what scares me is that we are still human. << But are we human enough ? I'm afraid taht technology has grown so fast it's exceeded our ability to grow our humanity. We seem so removed today from the more natural environment that even I can remember as a child some 50 yrs ago, ( before TV ) and when a movie was a once a week thing ( if you were lucky) There was some natural world to explore , birds and bees to watch , skipping stones off the surface of the local creek, and a lot less of the surreal special effects that turns life and death into a video parlor game. -------------------- Today with all our greatness 15 million kids experience hunger in this Country , at least part of the month every month , and half of them suffer from Anxiety disorders induced by abject poverty in the middle of a country that has an over abundance, but not enough abundance to help them from being ostracized and and ridiculed if they so much as apply for food stamps. ---------------------- I wonder at times if we are human enough.
