You mean progress is not automatic

Great idea . Maybe we'll all be labelled dinasaurs for daring to state that whats newer is not always better. Long live the revolution !

Wait and see ?

The left's commitment to reactionary politics is childish .There is a lot of good in our culture- the challenge is to find it amongst the barrage of cynical reactionary stuff that has been so much part of the 60's generation idea of news since then .

Time these wannabe influential people grew up and agnowledged some basic ecological facts . After all its broadly "the West"that anticipates plans and prevents. There would have lots less casualties from a tsunami if it happened in the Pacific.

Prevention better than Cure
