this is the story of our era. things - mostly petroleum and petroleum products, but not entirely - we lived without for eons becoming almost foundational to our way of life within the span of a human generation or two, such that we've forgotten it was ever any other way. it's no wonder we've blundered our way into the disasterous cul-de-sac in which we now find ourselves. we had no time to think.
