They All Fall Down

Protest-ant engineers of my passing generation built the vast aging infrastructure and
giant skyscrapers that we use today.  Sadly, the intuition and integrity essential to the maintenance of our way of life is dying with us as we ourselves pass into obscurity.

 Bridges that we built are falling down.  Giant sinkholes swallow up freeways and buildings.  Fraudulently designed modern office towers are imploded deliberately or they simply collapse on their own.  Rail disasters are routine.  Dams and huge power plants are failing with catastrophic consequences, some of which have negative planetary implications.

Modern technology cannot be relied upon to replace what we lose let alone expand vital facilities needed to meet the requirements of a growing world population.  There is no one left with the ability to maintain what my generation built let alone replace it or expand it.

Do you cross a bridge or take an elevator on your way to your school or work?
