Things Disappear

There are a number of things that are disappearing from our social landscape ... some good, some bad:

- Cash transactions

- Truant officers (*)

- Land-line phones

- Christianity (*)

- Personal privacy (*)

- Aptitude tests (*)

- Civility (*)

- Nuclear power plants (*)

- TV sitcoms

- Big families (*)

- Cigarette smoking

- Logical thinking (*)

- Many chronic diseases

- Smog and other air pollutants

However, it would be nice if a few of these negatives (*) were reversed or replaced with positives ...
