People should read up on the stories of the dangers of steamtrains that
were going around when the first trains started rolling down the track.
Horrible things would happen to the cows grazing alongside the track and
their milk. If the train went too fast, all the air would be sucked out
of the carriages and people would suffocate. People's brains would be
affected because humans aren't made to travel that fast. Etc.
History repeats itself time after time. I think it was the German poet
Goethe who said something like: 'even the Gods' battle against stupidity
is futile'.
