Philosophy is all very nice but if you and your entire family are living in the dirt and on the verge of death you will have other things on your mind, so don't think just because you don't operate a vehicle for a living you won't be in that lynch mob yourself. I certainly would be. All jobs will eventually go the way of the VHS repair man, Blockbuster clerk and truck driver. I predict one of the last jobs to be automated will be an attendant in a old age home, but that job will vanish too with time. <br><br>John K Clark</font><br></div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
