Incredible letter, thanks Chad > AI was the last straw. Have you heard of that island off India where the indigenous population kills any outsiders fool-hardy enough to land? They are doing the rest of us a favor by preserving a way of life we may need again someday, or at the very least should not want to see completely extinguished. > I haven't used a phone or the Internet in my personal life since February 6. To communicate with other humans, I use the USPS, or I maneuver my body into close proximity and vibrate air with my throat.
