I Seriously Doubt Progress

Listen. I have very serious doubts about progress. Every time a big project goes up, sooner or later it fails and causes serious environmental catastrophe. I sit down, smoke a cigarette, and question why the project had to be built in the first place. A project fails, I smoke a cigarette, another project fails, I smoke another cigarette. If you'd like me to quit smoking, stop building projects, and allow the environment to restore itself. Then I can restore myself too. Anyone care to join me?
