Hey, we do live in an era of fast foods and quick fixes and instant
everything. Doesn't this teach us that we needn't bother with those old,
lengthy methods, just go down a check list, and be done with it? A
simplistic way of thinking for most people, looking for simplistic
instructions, simplistic asnwers to roblems, etc? So that then, when
they don't acheive desired results, they can moan as they give up what
they never really wanted to put any serious effort into in the first
place, 'but I've tried EVERYTHING?'
