My own opinion is that as technological innovations come along,
they get applied to _everything_, from the practical to the "patent
medicine". E.G., when the gasoline engine was invented, it was not
long before someone applied on to powering a wagon, a motorcycle, a
boat, a washing machine. I'm sure that some bright 'lad' even
considered mounting didloes to one. "Just a minute honey, I need to
prime the carburetor."

"At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child,
miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied,
demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless.
Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats."
