We used to have noisy, stinky, dirty, uncomfortable - late coming buses for decades...
Now they got updated with a lot of electronics - it breaks down when checking the bus-card causes the equipment to reset...
That's how modern technology increases happiness in our life...

It is all right - the basic parameters haven't changed - we got upgraded...

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Little suggestion: make the tests fail woefully if the air conditioning system has even a minor defect.

That's why they're always late, people keep taking them.

For a comparison of horses vs. cars, read Superfreakanomics[^] page 10++.
Levitt & Dubner make such colorful descriptions that you sometimes think they go too far. They do make a number of fascinating observations, though. I don't think I would base a Ph.D dissertation on the information they present (unless confirmed by other reliable sources). Nevertheless I believe that most of their facts are reasonably correct; only the presentation is made with a funny twist.

So tempting... The problem I have no time to waste on it (and it takes me ages to create one)...

Nope.
And most of its opposition think democracy is fine provided it always votes their way ... but this is verging on Soapbox territory.
