Technology (which is ANY solution developed to assist in the maintaining of our lives) Technology is the rock chucked at the rabbit and the Pentium chip. There were civilizations that were comfortable in their lives and lived in balance with their environments. Europeans have the "gotta have it all" disease and with some European descendants (especially Americans) the disease has completely absorbed us so that WE are a disease as well. Ask any Native American Technology is a sin against all life including our own. The problem is the constituency for technology is all of us, our children, loved ones etc. so we are not inclined to abandon technology for natural selection. One of the earliest eco-criminals was Hippocrates. Medicine has added to global overcrowing. We strive for universal health care. Our refined definition of justice and equality causes us to support failed states, individuals. What is wrong with us is our unwillingness to make our planet "work". We don't insist on true economic equality. Universal justice. We talk a great game but it is all bullshit. I'm done, thanks for allowing me to rant. CB
