Nothing much surprises me today but this did. You’re not going to believe what I’m about to tell you. There are people out there who are against electricity, modern medicine, hospital, worldwide telecommunications – almost instantaneous (like Skype, Facetime, Zoom – all of that stuff), international travel, cars, highways, plentiful food with virtually no famines, television, live streaming - I could go on and on and on but I think you get the point.

And these people are trying to convert you, yes you, into agreeing with them. They’re a bit sneaky about it – well the smart ones. The dumb ones are too dumb to know their being had by the smart ones – things never change.

If it wasn’t for this thing, that they’re complaining about and telling you was terrible, you wouldn’t be living in the modern world. What is this thing. Well I’ll tell you.
