And I can find room in this world for some regressive thinking on manufacturing as related to the effort of men. I think that the root of many of our problems is not so much the implied over population but maybe more a function of how much we waste. When one man made one thing at one time that thing was generally made to withstand some time. Today's throw-away society has no need for anything well made, only things inexpensively made. That inexpense comes at the hands of the workman, who has been removed from the final product just as sure as has been its quality.
