Well, I guess then everything is hunky-dorey and we can continue our
present
course.

I nevah said that. Never will. But as long as progress and innovation
(P&I) are alive, yeah, we can "continue our present course" (whatever that
is).

The moment P&I stops, then nothing is hunky dorey and we will all die.

It's stopping. Isn't quite STOPPED, but P&I, our key to the future, is being
rapidly strangled.

. . . All that said, I think this is a glass-half-empty/half-full debate.
We're doin' all right as a nation and a world.
