If nothing else, increased communication seems to be a driving force behind the drastic moral changes we have been undergoing since the industrial revolution. Those moral changes are the only thing that can possibly give us sustainability in a world with nuclear weapons (and other such toys). The fight for resources is going to get far, far worse before it gets better. We need as much of humanity as possible to have modern, progressive values, and I think an uncensored, portable wireless internet connection will do that a lot better than free trade. Bring on the techno-shamanism!<BR/><BR/>--FishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
