True... for a very long time the one's that could truly help our planet, in many ways, have been systematically eliminated and/or cajoled by the master manipulators. Shame on them.... I am not saying 'technology" brings forth goodness, cause it doesn't always work that way, as we see in RFID, SpyCams, SpySats, etc... Humanity, IMO, would probably exist just fine without most/much of today's technology. It is my opinion, of course, that CONSUMERISM drives the endless wasting of technology for enslavement and "CRAP"--all designed for mass consumption. You are a number, and a number alone in this world to them.
