I think you have a good point Robert.

A miracle! We agree on something. Great.

I think the reverse is true. Technological advancement gives a
society options, redundancies, flexibility and the ability to
assess and remediate problems.

You mean like it did here after the last hurricane? No problem; my

Was the electricity out for six months? Nation wide? It is possible.
