I agree there is no reason to get political in this discussion. The root issue that could easily polarize people in this thread is perspective. For the many poor, literally and figuratively, people living with marginal nutrition and minimal medical care in overpopulated third world conditions throughout the world this entire thread would seem crazy. They have not benefited much from the advances almost all of us have. In a similar manner the many unemployed workers in the USA who have had their manufacturing jobs outsourced for purely economic reasons might have a less rosy perspective. That is not political at all.
