I'm certainly not a cheery fellow, but to partake in evil and claim you were born in it does not absolve anyone of it.

In any case, the cost of progress has a steep price or did you think there is such a thing as a free lunch? Someone's wealth must be offset by others poverty because those are the rules we choose to live by. Yhe situation isnt getting better either. It's getting worse. At this point we are not entirely sure of how much we don't know about what we don't know.

I would nit be surprised many moons from now researchers find our tech and the plastics its made out of heat up during use and we inhale all sorts of unnatural nonsense.

Such is life. Such is dignity.
