Since it was 17 year olds and the video was made four years ago, they are already of voting age. The video just serves to demonstrate how we are only two generations away from technological collapse at any given moment. The 17 year olds aren't even aware enough to figure out they could learn how these technologies work by watching old Hollywood Movies and observing how things were done. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not consider that. But, neither did I consider that first they’d need to figure out how to register to vote. So, I may still be accidentally correct. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's odd enough that anything's possible, though. *waves hello to the Grump* Crows and Ravens have many characteristics in common, with the Ravens being the larger species. Both are remarkably social and give a whole new meaning to the term "bird brain". GEM Addendum: When we were still living in Victorville, Ca. I observed both crows and ravens engaging in the sort of learned behavior, particularly in their ability to get into lidded trash receptacles, requiring a degree of reasoning and co-operative behavior normally associated only with primates.
