As progress and technology transform our way of life and our physical surroundings, they eat away at our language, enfeeble our spirit.

I'm confused, why did they do that, this video only covers what, and not why?

Without the why, forming an opinion about it is arrogant, since you first must understand motives, before accusations are justified. Unless the accusations are about motives : /

[pennilesscripple]

most of my videos have more information in the sidebar, as this one does

this is a short video by design--it is not intended to cover every point

perhaps it is up to you to explore the 'why'

[runnygrits]

Well, fuck me runnin'!
