I am not ignorant of human development, nor the development of civilization.
I have taken several courses in related areas, and find the topic interesting
enough to actually purchase books on it for individual reading.  The whole
post was designed to make fun of what I think is a really silly topic;
a candlelight vigil for the feelings of chickens.  "Millions" is much less
awkward to say/type than "tens of thousands of years".  I hope you're not
going to reply saying that it was in fact the Assyrians who had anticipated
styrofoam, and that the Babylonians had only predicted the coming of fondue
pots.

Ob. dc related topic: Dinah Shore and Colonel Sanders were reputedly caught together 
vandalizing cars and stealing tires off of station wagons in Lot 4 at the University 
of Maryland.  They told the press that they didn't inhale, and didn't really like it.

I find that free-speech is an effective but not very efficient way of relaying your
thoughts to businesses.  For one who has time to sleep approximately every other
day, I think spending a day marching around, chanting, and holding a sign with some
sort of slogan on it is a really BIG waste of my time, especially when most 
business-men think with their pocket books and about 4th quarter net profit/share 
earnings.
