They just see only the negative aspects and declare it bad without realizing that there's a lot of good in technology as well.
Frankly, I hope we take a bit of our technology and pay him a visit, so to speak.

Thanks.
What I find perplexing is people who think that the U.S. is responsible for the creation of Al Qaeda. The dynamics that brought about its creation predate the existence of the U.S. Its as if the history of the world began in 1980, and only events that occurred after 1980 should be considered, and only in the context of a world that never had a Cold War. Leftists have a very bizarre world view when it comes to Al Qaeda.
