In that same spirit, I will respond. I really could give a flying fuck what you think. LOL! And as a follow up I could care less who thinks I'm and asshole. Because, I too, say it like it is and I stand by absolutely everything I stated in the string as my opinions and experiences. You can process however you want or not at all.

No worries, I wouldn't expect you to care about my opinion.

Honestly, I believe the big problem is a societal issue that we are expecting to fix with technology.

Don't think it can be fixed by technology.

Thank you,

For sure we are witnessing quantity over quality issues, but that is not new, it's been happening a long time. Or.... We are getting old and "They don't make them like they used to" is in play. And I assure you that my grandkids would accuse me of that attitude. `,~)
