Stop what? If my so-called thoughts are "uncorrelated" as you say, yours
must be pithless.

Now here's where you need to open your eyes. What is the length of the
standard working day in the US today? I can tell you sure haven't worked
hard recently.

To what end? Ozone had been used in air conditioners for years so that
comfort wouldn't be an issue. The gas, found harmful to the ozone layer, is
replaced but not before nearly irreparable damage is done and will continue
to be done for many years to come. All in the name of discovery. That's
just one example; should I go through hundreds more? I know,
"uncorrelated", as you would call it. Laughable. Reminds me of someone who
said, "That depends on your meaning of the word 'of'".
