What have we become, asks the Sock Monkey?

Here he sits, the Great and Powerful Sock Monkey of Higher Reasoning, looking at what our species has become as of late. Pleased, or horrified at our progress (or lack thereof)? Well, I guess that depends on what angle you are coming from. Point of views on that subject are quite readily available these days. In fact, thats all we have in media these days are opinions- corporate backed opinions that is. Everybody's talking, but not saying a thing, Blah, blah, blah, la-tee-da. Peace Out.
