Good question gladtobe.

Something to think about.

Answer 2

Yes, it is. But it's what people want. They want to be able to jet off to Bali or Goa or Hawaii for their holidays. It's the same as the motorcar. People want instant transport from their front door to wherever they are going. But their expectations in these respects are worked on insidiously by the oil companies who curretnly rule the world and pull the strings of the present incumbent of the White House.
