Tractor & machinery topics get a lot of nice discussion around here. OT threads kinda tick folks off, so you end up swimming all alone when you start off that way. In short, you just invited folks to make fun of you. Woulda been better to start off with a tractor topic. Most of us live out in the country, or can remember it yet. We are tired of 'city folk' knowing all the answers and telling us how to live. Their ideas are foolish & uninformed. Your topic very closely follows this - silly idea, far fetched, telling others how to live.... Technoligy has nothing to do with anything. 200 years ago they had technology - all types of weapons. The problem - if their is one - is human nature. You are barking up the wrong tree. It's not the tools we use, it's us. Technology lets us live longer, not shorter. Our life spans are much longer than they were 200 years ago. Without our tools, about 50% of us need to die - we couldn't produce enough food without our tools. Chemicals in the water - seems a lot of that comes through the toilet. We are medicating ourselves a whole lot, leagally & otherwsie. Lot of that passes right through. Maybe if people took more responsibility, we would have less of that. Maybe if we had less leaky municiple sewage plants, and more proper septic systems, there would be less of that. I love our technology. That is the good thing. I believe your idea is impossible, & very short sighted. You would be throwing away all that is good, and creating a much, much bigger problem which will bring out even worse in people, making life about impossible. I think you would destroy life on earth. It is people who are irrisponsible, selfish, or need to tell others what to do that are the problem. I don't believe in genocide, so there is little to do but try to live a good life yourself, and hope there are more like me. Technology - bring it on!!!! (Of course, as much as I like technology, I prefer 1970's or older tractors, with less things to go wrong.....) --->Paul
