It's not just possible that this is a parable of our
future world "governed" by ever more complex
computer systems. Or meybe it is?
Of course he was wrong, but I once heard the industrial
socilolgist Harley Shaiken say that as the
automation of a production process approaches 100%,
the downtime also approaches 100%.

Subject: FW: Make sure you read this. It could save your life...
An individual had a wreck a couple of weeks ago and totaled their
Lincoln Town Car. She hydroplaned on Hwy. 135 between Gladewater & Kilgore,
Texas. She was not hurt, just emotionally rattled!
She learned a lesson I'd like to pass on to you. You may know this
already--but the highway patrolman told her that you should NEVER
drive in the rain with your cruise control on. He said if you did and
hydroplaned (which she did) that when your tires were off the road
your car would accelerate to a high rate of speed (which it did). You
don't have much, if any control when you hydroplane, but you are
totally in the hands of God when the car accelerates. She took off like
she was in an airplane. She is so thankful she made it through
that ordeal. Please pass the word around about not using cruise control
when the pavement is wet or icy. The highway patrolman said this should be
on the sun-visor with the warning about airbags.
The only person she found out who knew this (besides the patrolman)
was a man who had a similar accident and totaled his car. This has
made her wonder if this is not why so many of our young people are
dying in accidents.
Be careful out there!
If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about
this, then it was all worth it. It might have saved his/her life.
Perform random acts of kindness every day.
