Cars kill people, but they are transport vehicles, not devices for killing people.
Let’s not obfuscate with what happened 200 so e years ago, and let’s focus on tne 21st Century of rockets, nuclear warheads, pocket computers thousands of times better and more powerful than room filling machines, satellite TV, i e making refrigerators connected to the internet, tiki bars, martinis, flip flops, bermudas, cars that stop and change lanes according to objects around tnem, cable TV, airplaves that cary 780 people from Japan to Europe in just hours, with chefs and beds in first class, a thng called vacation for working people, espresso machines, latte, high end, fold i to your pocket featherweight jackets made from recycled plastic that keep you warm in tne foulest weather, airplanes made if carbon, heart and other organ transplants, artificial limbs good enough for competition in Olympic games, toothpaste and beautiful teeth, artifial lenses that let people see again liike hawks, paved roads, lawn mowers, golf, soccer, basketball, movies, the Oscars, weaponry that would allow ten trained guys to wipe out the southern army any day, in weeks, and on, and on, and on.
Let’s get serious, eh?
F the 18th Century of medicine by amputation, bad teeth, disease wiping out whole populations, muskets and powder, horses and carriages, and every other ill and shit the world could provide, including vigilantes, mob justice, slavery, and the more I think about it, the more pissed I get!
