Go through google. Easier than finding them on amazon.
I think this is …

I thought about …
I thought about that when he mentioned the idea of keeping a spare person for spare parts, as it were. I presume the story got its idea from Postman, or wherever the idea originated if not from him.
As a side note… that was a really bad movie. LOL.

Tired rant

This fellow brings a number of important ideas to the table, but the comments… Man, most of you think you know what’s good for people more than they do. I suspect many of you sniff your own f@rts out of a wine glass.

Thank you for this video, Postman is great, I like this guy and his way of thinking. I think he is right, simply because he is able to ask the right questions. They remain right, even if the situation changes. Internet is a great achievement – but only for those, who can use it. Information is accessible only for those, who learned about the value of knowledge and who know what to search for.

For a cinematic representation of the cloning business, see the movie “The Island”.
At this Tzu Kung …
At this Tzu Kung was much abashed, and said nothing.
story goes from bottom to top
and that those who …
and that those who are not pure and incorrupt are restless in spirit, and that those who are restless in spirit are not vehicles for Tao. It is not that I do not know of these things. I should be ashamed to use them.’
Thereupon the …
Thereupon the gardener flushed up and said, ‘I have heard from my teacher that those who have cunning implements are cunning in their dealings, and that those who are cunning in their dealings have cunning in their hearts, and that those who have cunning in their hearts cannot be pure and incorrupt,
‘What is it?’ asked …
‘What is it?’ asked the gardener.
‘It is a contrivance made of wood’, replied Tzu Kung, ‘heavy behind and light in front. It draws up water as you do with your hands, but in a constantly overflowing stream. It is called a well-sweep.’
‘If you had a …
‘If you had a machine here’, cried Tzu Kung, ‘in a day you could irrigate a hundred times your present area. The labour required is trifling as compared with the work done. Would you not like to have one?’
When Tzu Kung went …
When Tzu Kung went south to the Ch’u State on his way back to the Chin State, he passed through Han-yin. There he saw an old man engaged in making a ditch to connect his vegetable garden with a well. He had a pitcher in his hand, with which he was bringing up water and pouring it into a ditch, ‹ great labour with very little result.
The cloning of …
The cloning of humans and keeping them guarded and well and then using their parts when we need them was the story behind the movie called THE ISLAND with Ewan McGregor, several years ago. As usual, Hollywood scenarios are never in the realm of impossibilities.
Well I just …
Well I just mentioned them so if you dont see them you must not be able to see my post.

i still don’t.
What I’m saying is …
What I’m saying is that it means a lot more to them than the ten minute phone call to a relative I haven’t talked to for five years.

I write letters all the time and they have actually helped salvage my relationship with my extended family.
I find they create more meaningful interactions. Not to mention that my grandparents and aunts/uncles etc don’t have email! lol.
Admittedly, I don’t …
Admittedly, I don’t have the statistics in front of me that say “TV increased consumerism”, so its an educated guess.
In regards to the Internet, there are tons of downsides: increase in consumerism (my guess), all the pollution/resource usage related to CPU production, usage and waste, and of course the whole societal side that scoliosispony mentioned, that we in our “jacked-in” culture don’t even consider, mostly.
I’m just pointing out the negatives because you didn’t think there were any.
