And the master geeks?

I've been holding of this one since it's so grim and fatalistic. But it too is a sign of the times, i.e. a good case of how political correctness totally ruins everything:

We've heard so much about a handful of bankers reputedly committing suicide, one of which is already a suspect story. Where are the headlines and commiseration for these unfortunates? Oh -- it's unofficially a racial story of a politically-incorrect nature, so it mostly doesn't get mentioned despite its much greater magnitude (well, if this story's true). If it is true it's a genuine holocaust, not a fake like some others through history.

It also affects YOU and ME directly. We love having smoothly running computers and ever-new programs, don't we?

What a tragic waste. Not a capitalism-voodoo or Beltway politics waste, but one involving free enterprise and what was till not too long ago a phenomenally successful economic plan.
