towards a moderate neo-Luddism.
Sometimes, when driving around, trying to find a certain restaurant, 80's club, or coffee shop, I find myself longing for an iphone. But then, when I get to the certain restaurant, 80's club, or coffee shop, and see groups of people sitting around tables with iphones in hand, checking facebook or youtube, wholly ignoring one another, my soul bursts with all the glee the Pharisee had in the presence of the Publican.
"Thank you, Lord," I say to myself, "for not making me like them."
"But," you'll protest, "my iphone is necessary for my job."
If that's true then your job isn't necessary.

How does the line go? Something like "... for those who have ears, let them hear!" Or rather, "... and the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light."
Can one not just use an iPhone for navigation, then leave it in the car?
Also, why don't you call me back?

Yes, in the possible world where the sale of opiates is completely unrestricted and people only use them for medicinal purposes.

I'm busy and lazy,and a bad friend, and,also, a moderate neo-Luddite.
