But to its credit, the world view it presented didn’t include trashy, right-wing tirades or down-scale, evangelical hyperventilations. It didn’t troll, and it didn’t pretend to be anything other than a brief, entertaining and inoffensive diversion from the real world.

Sad impoverishment of the imagination; to live in a colorless, 2-dimensional fantasy world of yore that never really was.

Well … remember that show Leave it To Beaver?

I live in that world. You know, the world when everything was still normal.

What is it like to be you?

They found it a long time ago, mac! I’ve just let a few of their comments through recently to remind us that they exist.

It would take a long time because there is no “next generation” technology because the nuclear industry has dropped the ball. They dropped the ball by losing everyone’s trust not because people are irrationally afraid of radiation (which they may well be but people also have virtually no knowledge or accurate risk assessment of anything else either, so yada yada) but because they never said a word out loud that wasn’t a lie.

So it would be fought tooth and nail.
