Yeah, that's the bad news....the good news, how about antibiotics, TV, Cell Phone, Computers, grafite rods, automatic transmissions, etc. etc.

After reviewing the list above (which is all too abrieveated), I'm not so sure all of them are "good news" after all. Well maybe the grafite rods for the poor folk (like retired old bags of wind on "fixed income") don't count as any group of note.

Anyway, long story short. I'm glad I live in this century, all in all.
