Complex? Take some biology classes. You'll quickly learn that your so called complexity is nothing more than a pile of hacks that any competent designer would have refactored thousands of years ago.

Everything... exactly, except computing, pharmaceuticals, GPS, space, defense, agriculture, medical procedures, wind turbine technology, and many other apparent non-sciences.My favorite scientific innovation is education and health care.... LOL

you ever heard about the electric car GM made? EV1? why did they forcibly recall every single one and then crush each one?

The problem is precisely that the pendulum swings far and fast. Any gains you might seem to make are going to roll back within a decade, turning you back into the sort of people who could re-elect Bush II. I'll believe that America can learn from its mistakes and start acting like a nation of sane adults when I see it.
