Your words may forever be considered with a chuckle by future generations of Google archive viewers, just as Teddy Roosevelt's reluctance to accept or rely upon the horseless carriage as a replacement for horse drawn modes of transportation. In 1902 he would ride in a horseless carriage, but insisted that it be followed by a conventional horse drawn carriage in case of a breakdown or failure of the new fangled contraption. ------------------------- The Horseless Carriage This is very interesting. A horseless carriage. What a mysterious thing. There's a handle in front That you crank a bit To wake the contraption up. There are control things inside That cause her to start. Would you care for a ride? Go ahead. Climb right in. Crank. Rumble. We'll give it a spin. Here we go--a little correction Of that wheel thing there Should change our direction. Well, isn't this fun? A horseless carriage. What makes it run? We're coming to the edge of the lawn. That's far enough-- Here comes the pond! Whoa! Oh, no! What makes it stop? I said WHOA! Splash.
