    I remember sitting in a field during a massive thunder storm one year and just staring up at the sky as water poured over me, it was beautiful. I also remember sticking my finger in the place a light bulb is supposed to go when I was little. I thought I had died and I was a ghost, so I started to go around and see if anyone could see me. They could :(

    the fool says in their heart "there has to be what every other fool says there is, or there is nothing". the truly wise look at the diversity that is reality, shrug their sholders, accept that they don't know jack, and get on with living.

    the problem with tecnology, isn't whether it is good or bad, but the two big lies a lot of people still tell themselves about it.

    that you have to be destructive to have it, and that if you have enough of it, you can get away with being destructive for ever. too many of those who do recognize there is something not quite right about the concatination of those two premesis, seem to conclude that thus all tecnology is bad, and we'd all be better off without it.

    there are however, a number of not so small problems with that conclusion as well, a conclusion that is totally unneccessary, for the simple fact, that we do NOT have to be destructive to have it at all. nor do tecnologies have to be destructive and inharmonious with nature, in order to be gratifying.

    we do need to stop burning things to generate it, and to propel transportation, but that we CAN do. the only real obstical to doing so, is the powerful influence of those who exploit emotional attatchment to familiar ways of doing things (and do so for the sake of symbolic and illusory 'gain', that gratify nothing)

    but i suppose you were talking about the 'magic' of electricity. the magic of reality, of how things actually work, and that it doesn't always have to match our intuitive expectations, or even be casually vissible to the unaided eye at all.

    all of which is certainly true, and which i had no wish to discredit, by calling attention to that other little nagging, persistent detail, of the corner, our familiar assumptions, have painted us into.

    I was equally inquisitive as a child and not only put my finger in the light bulb socket (a small jolt) but later put a penny in the socket to see if it would trip the circuit breaker – it did [​IMG]
