When I was a young teen, I had boundles faith that science and technology could solve any and all problems. I`m far from being a Luddite, but I no longer have that boundless faith.

I was reading the comic book The Rocketeer, and in the preface it talked about the attitudes of the 1950s and 1960s comic books, where problems could actually be solved if only you had a rocket powered back pack. Science is a terrific tool, but it has no inherent moral value. Like a hammer, it can create or destroy, depending upon the hand that wields it.

In Steve Martin's old movie, The Man With Two Brains, there's a scene where Martin asks a mad scientist "Doesn't it bother you that all these people have died to produce your work?" The scientist responds, "If it saves one life, it's worth it!"

On a side note, I've noticed that the more preoccupied a society becomes with sex, the fewer children it produces.
