have faith in science. I'm sure something new will be discovered. Hopefully sooner than later.

Saved temporarily by medicine. Nothing wrong with that, but nothing cures death, not even Jesus. New things get discovered all the time, but dystopia is the result, not utopia.

The actual number would be somewhat larger, and not fit into a little Colorado hidden valley. Apparently high altitude is fatal to socialists, snark ;-)
