Raison d'être

If the market and economy collapse shows nothing else, it shows that modern technology has done nothing to improve morality. Human greed, villainy, and corruption simply have newer and faster methods of doing unto others before they do unto you.

Perhaps we shall all soon have the opportunity to take the advice of Henry David Thoreau to simply, simplify, simplify. But shall we heed the advice of Gil Bailie who has said that the reason we are here at all in the first place is "to love and be loved, to forgive and be forgiven"?
