George, I believe you have introduced Mr. Hammer to Mr. Nail. Dead-on analysis, and I wish I had an answer to the question. I have two college-age
boys and did my level best to keep them interested in reality while they were growing up. Baja helped, at least for awhile. But they have both
succumbed, like their peers, to the siren's call of the virtual world. Wave of the future, I suppose. I'm just waiting to apply for my personal,
implanted ID chip, that will verify my identity at the SENTRI chip readers in San Ysidro, beam the border wait time and the price of gas directly into
my retinas (along with my personal Netflix selections for an additional monthly fee), and report my vital signs to my doctor and my whereabouts to the
NSA. |
