Yehbut, they promised me it would work by 2123. Actually I think the 
real reason for so many shortcomings is that they just dont know how to 
do "that". So they pretend it's just for your "safety and well-being", 
just like any other social nanny group. By the way have you noticed that 
the bacon-is-bad-for-YOU, milk-is-bad-for-YOU and bread-is-bad-for-YOU 
and gawd be praised the wine-is-bad-for-YOU morons have been totally 
discredited?
