I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Most of these old duffers are lossing their hearing anyway.
When ya read a forum thread and say, "what? I didnt hear ya", the hearing loss bird has flown the coupe.
