Shame, Shame, Shame

We pride ourselves on having the latest technology and weaponry, building awe-stricken architecture, and having sophisticated communications systems. Evolving and transforming technologically, Optimus Primus in the flesh. But the moment we are required to show one ounce of humanity to fellow man, we begin to devolve...shame shame shame.

There have been days where I wasn't able to come in contact with any sort technology, and while its true that I have had to get used to things like having no microwave sometimes, or having unreliable WIFI, I've also seen a lack of human spirit and the value of comradery. People here worship the mighty dollar (I'm guilty too) praising everything that brand new luxury car represents. Meanwhile in third world countries, I'm sure there has been a time where a crowd of strangers rush to the aide of a car crash victim, bare-handedly extracting the victims body from the wreck of his once brand new, American car...shame shame shame.

What is modernity? Does it even matter?
