Sometimes I think man was better off in his ancestral state when we were living in caves, eating raw meat and munching on weeds from the local swamp. To think how far man has come since those days, kinda mindboggling if you ask me. First they were beating animals with rocks and sticks to bring them down to be consumed , now we have the effiency of slaughtering them in a neat and easily cleaned manner to end up as plated works of art in some fancy restaurant. Right now the weeds from the swamp have more personal appeal.
Even transpotation has come a long way, and we have become jaded. Our neolithic forebearers stomped their way over the landscape, until someone came apon some poor animal somewhere and decided to jump on its back to see what happened. Next thing he finds out, Hey this is better then trudging anyday. Then a few hundred years later someone decides to try out a crude cart for carrying his accumilated crap and or fellow bi-peds. Few hundred thousand years later ( a pittance in ye olde time space continuum thingy)and we are sitting in machine crammed with all those long suffering horses stuffed under the hood instead of under our collective asses.
What happened to the George Jetson flying cars we are supposed to be driving by now? Where are all the ultra sci fi contraptions he had,? thats what I wanna know. Where are the robot maids, even though Id prefer jeanie from "I Dream of jeanie" TV fame,( and what self respecting astronaut wouldnt). I often wonder how far man as a species will go, or will we end up waylayed and driven to almost extinction by the acts of collective poisoning by our progress or as dust from the actions of some mad man with his finger on the nuclear button?
What say you?
