Damned technology. FOX doesn't like it.


Damned fiscal reality, the left hates it.

I love technology but I am not going to pay twice as much, just to say
I have it.


In reality? Somebody, that has to be on the cutting edge, will. That
is OK. All new technology, whether it is shod horses, horseless
carriages, electric lights, color TVs, etc. is costly, but that is the
price of moving forward.

I'm not going to pay that much, either. At this point in my life, I
just can't justify the luxury of having bragging rights for new
technology, but somebody can. They will help carry us forward into the
22nd century, just as those folks at the end of the 19th century an
beginning of the 20th century carried us forward by buying horseless
carriages.

New technology costs a lot. Somebody has to pay for it and if it is as
great a national leap forward as the "Space Race" was, I'm fine with
the Feds financing it.

In any event, Neo-Luddite losers like BAR and Canuck, cannot hold back
the future any more than their predecessors could.


What problem does electric vehicles solve? What problems does electric
vehicles create?
