We were bad people, and we were destroyed

This is my version of how things are, and how they got this way.

It is simple, and presupposes that the universe selects systems that work, and rejects those that do not. And our system was not working.

And the primary reason for this, is because the people in it, did not exist. And not being is being as immoral as it is possible to be. And we have been destroyed, as a result. Or it might be more accurate, to say - we have destroyed ourselves.

Our system, back in the middle of the 19th Century, seemed to be working. Because it made us (or at least some of us) rich. We were able to overlook the fact, that it also made us immoral, and unethical.

Back in the Sixties, I was an Electronic Engineer, and close to the top of the heap. Young women wanted to marry us - and get their new home in the suburbs.

I got married myself, but Beth and I were not interested in a house in the suburbs. Although plenty were available, at the time. Instead, we created our own version of the dysfunctional family.
