There really should not be anything wrong with wanting to bring internet to the mainstream society of Wildcat City. Before we had internet, there were still a lot of problems as they are now.

Nailed it right on the head Blue! I was just about to say the same thing!

I had a feeling somebody would.

I just did.

And if you hadn't, Chuong would have.

True that. But I got it.

Indeed you did.

Exactly. Outdated forms of being a Neo-Luddite only causes more problems; they just didn't want to expose themselves to any immoral content. There's too much of that on the internet.

Well, it's called evolution. It's inevitable.

That's one way to look at it.

The immoral content is only there if they seek it out.

Nailed it right on the head! Leo has a habit of portraying his country as being the most laughed at but forgets that Americans laugh at Brazil for their funk culture and Brazilian music groups like As Tequileiras Do Funk (mainly for inventing a dance move known as surra de bunda). The grass on the other side is as green as here; that's what I tell Leo.

Chuong: Blue's right about technology as being part of our evolution. I have to agree with him on that.

Zachary: All of us here do.

Haakon/Icebreaker: *sighs* Leo, you need to let go of the past. You may think your past was good but back then, the world was suffering. Even Norway back then was suffering. Norway was dead boring back then and we hardly had any entertainment. It was literally a blank cold country. Your nostalgia is becoming a poisonous drug and you're addicted to the past. Leho the Tech Lion from Estonia isn't here for nothing and he and his people use Skype a lot because his people invented Skype.

Vako: We need to arrange a vacation for you Leo to stay in Estonia for a week.

Sako: Wildcat City is so sad and depressing...

Leho: No. They just need to accept the fact that technology is a part of evolution and even the Greeks use them though mostly for work related purposes. As for entertainment, to most people, entertainment keeps us from going insane from boredom. Why do you think my people and people from Finland like to play against each other through gaming apps?

Kyu: I have to accept Korea's modernization as part of evolution and we still have our traditional culture. I see young Koreans take selfies more than the American youth does and I don't complain about it.

Kang-Dae: With Leo saying that technology is enslaving people, the Koreans are fuming over that statement and say that is not true.

Chuong: The more you talk like this Leo, the more my people in Vietnam will get more upset. Don't you think it's hypocritical that you let Cripto fund out technological and medical research and development projects yet you talk about how life was better half a century ago? Luong is not mad at the fact that more Vietnamese are owning technology so I don't see why you should be upset that America is doing the same.

Zachary: If you hate technology so much, then why did you back me up in freeing Detroit from the Shinto State and saved GM? Never mind the fact that you didn't whine about the sudden popularity and growth of American families buying SUVs and minivans when I made thorium replace gas. Perhaps, I shall head to the city of Lebanon and speak to Dr. Kerry Flores of US Electric, one of the agency execs up there, to bring her top staff members to Wildcat City and educate people about thorium and how that keeps their electric bills down as much as possible while keeping the environment clean. Kerry is the female purple wolf.

Star: On the bright side, with new American environmental laws in place from Zachary's reign, automobile owners must own a home with garages for them. As a result, neighborhoods look clearer and only guests would be parking their vehicles on the driveways and in big parties, on the streets. But other than that, the neighborhoods look cleaner and more open.

Zachary: My reign allowed both ways for technological growth and a cleaner and better environment for traditionalists. Sure Cody is shocked that his town, Hicksburg, suddenly has suburban neighborhoods and a newly built high school in the center of the town and is named after it but if he wants a better future for his town, then I'll give him that. And don't forget about the bluebonnet flowerbeds on the avenue dividers in his town and the pecan trees around the schools and parks but I want to show Cody how people can live modern lives and still be with nature by using state flowers and trees for decoration in public designated areas like parks and schools. Had it not been for me, Hicksburg wouldn't be listed as one of the top 10 beautiful towns to visit in Texas.

Leo: Did I mention this was a flashback when I spoke to the press? I get that now! Plus, what I meant to say was that the people are voluntarily letting the technology enslave them. They can't eat at restaurants or even go to the bathroom without their phones. I've had bad experiences with those kinds of people, and I let it condition me into the unacceptable statements I made when I told the press.

Super C: Yes; we see why technology is benefiting us. I'm using more of it myself in the gym I own and run.

Cornwallis: And I have you, the S4, to thank not only for my new job, but helping me to see the benefits of a modern world, and not just dwell on the bad.

Leo: *to Zachary* I thought you did it all by yourself because Bendraqi's pouter germs were infecting us. Even if they didn't, you'd still have every right to bash me (and for that matter, the GOP) on all of us being wimps that won't change anything. You'd think I was a Krieglandonian in disguise. *His doorbell rings.* Oh, the Open Box I ordered is here.

Haakon/Icebreaker: Your flashbacks are becoming toxic and is distracting you from the good things happening right now and in the future. *hands Leo some technology-related magazines that shows the optimistic side of them and how they will benefit the world in the long run* Read this and feel better about it.

Bonifacy: Look at SUVs and minivans today. Families around the world get to drive them because most of their parents never drove them and if they did, the vehicles back then did not has blind spot detection systems on the rear view mirrors on the side of vehicles, ran on gasoline often, were not reliable, and are bland compared to most vehicles today. Oh and there weren't advanced mass transit systems to help eliminate traffic congestion back then either. Earth's average family today has these; a suburban family home, a father who drives his SUV, a mother who drives her minivan, four children, and two pet dogs. Oh and of course TV and stuff too and your Open Box will come in handy since technology promotes freedom of information and speech.

Zax: And the average American family has these; a father who drives a Chevrolet Suburban, a mother who drives a Ford Edge, four children, two dogs, and has TV sets as well too.

Juno: Or the average military family where the husband is usually an officer has these; a father who drives a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, a mother who drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, four children, two dogs, and a TV set.

Zachary: But there's things everybody around the world can appreciate altogether; smartphones, thorium, and bullet trains (on surface and in subways) at least. Oh and buses too. And of course just recently in Ireland, they added a system of straddling buses as well after people in Ireland convinced their government to fund the creation of straddling buses allover the island. A bus that stretches over three lanes and goes from town to town as well as better than China's planned straddling buses. Plus, its taller to accommodate freight trucks coming under too. Cripto's wealth did come in handy for Ireland's huge mass transit projects both funded by the good people of Ireland and believe it or not, the IRA too. I used to be a terrorist and I did help the IRA promote mass transit funding and expansion allover Ireland because how Ireland is not only heavily populated with ethnic Irish alone but also how more soldiers from overseas are being stationed at Dublin, Belfast, Galway, and Cork too. Then you have a constant flow of tourism in Ireland despite the IRA situation coming in and out so people in general will need to get from point A to point B as efficiently as possible. America doesn't need the straddling bus because we are a very large country and our trains alone are more than enough to carry people from point A to point B if they're not going to drive their personal cars for fun. And of course, more mass transit means less car accidents hence technically speaking in Ireland, there are no car accidents because they got subway trains, surface trains, buses, and straddling buses.

Kevin: Ireland has to have those things because even if our highways are five lanes wide with two farthest away from the divider going under the towns and cities to increase flow of traffic, we also have a lot of military vehicles and cargo moving across the highways in Ireland too due to increased threat from the IRA. Military cargo needs as little traffic as possible to carry their supplies from base to base. As for our tourism industry going, most of the tourists are travel bloggers and news reporters who love to portray how action packed Ireland is and how fun it is. The IRA may be the world's most dangerous terrorist organization but at least hotels and homes are generally safe from them due to their adherence to the Laws of War. Of course, common sense is strongly encouraged in Ireland and one of them is that British travelers in Northern Ireland must not display anything that dons the Union Jack even if Stormont Estate flies the Union Jack.

Zachary: Either way, the past sucks because there are less cases of violent crimes today than before. Leo has to understand that statistics as it is true and there's no denying about it; its the media making it look like the world is falling apart. Unlike the terrorists of the past, the IRA does not target reporters as doing so would go against the Laws of War. They can use reporters to get their messages across to their audience of their agenda. That's what my terrorists did during my dictatorship is to tell the news reporters in America from overseas to tell the world what America is truly capable of and how things like thorium will benefit the world as well as new technologies. My terrorists during my reign even showed the reporters things like our subway systems, underground thorium power plants, underground oil refineries, and other things including the star fort towns and cities so reporters can show the world of how I am improving America and how the world can be inspired.

Leo: Hmmm. Let's have a look at these. *He begins to read the technology magazines after he answers the door, and then brings in the package with the Open Box.*

Super C: Trains and public transit had always been more popular than personal vehicles with the furries while groupthink was still a problem; that's also because we had all those bands walking around daily, weather permitting. They wouldn't do so in the hot summertime, though; heatstroke was a threat in that instance. After your reforms, there's more furries driving regular cars, even though in some cases, trains and public transit are the better way to go.

Zachary: They can have cars but trains are a better way to go; especially for work. During my reign, this is what I promoted; ride to work, drive for fun. In other words, unless you have a work vehicle, ride a train to work instead and only drive your car, if you own one in your garage, for fun only. That will dramatically ease up on commuting traffic so there's more room to move around about.

Super C: I think that's where I was going with it.

You didn't copyright Clockwork to me.

Whoops; missed that. Fixed it now. Also, since Cripto's learning how to do things without using his powers, maybe that should make him less of a doormat.

By "doormat" it's referring to his stiff and rather emotionless personality.

Also, if you're so worried about not taking things out of context, why not just carefully read and ask questions if you're unsure and confused with what's being said?

That would be a better thing to do. Plus, doing a bigger variety of activities in life may have an effect on the mood troubles Cripto has.

It is ill-advised to give a mentally inflexible person everlasting life on Earth, as they will most likely not be able to cope with the shifts both major and minor of the coming centuries.

Then that's what seems to be the case. The G-52s (except Super C, who got it from the sun and later something called the world stream) all got immortalized via the element of CNG (criptonitroglycerite), which comes in multiple colors, many of which can harm Super C similar to kryptonite harming Superman. Thus, sometimes they say that it's a curse having to living these everlasting lives.

Now that I think about it. Immortality is the worst punishment imaginable to such a person. Especially to a religious individual, as they will never meet their creator. The 52's dont need the destruction of the world or any defeat to maximize suffering. The CNG already did the job quite well, when one thinks about it.

That is true.
