Lando! Thank you very much for turning me/us onto Bill Whittle. Excellently produced and written. 
Of course my first thought after seeing this was of concern for Mr. Whittle's health and safety.
I have been a fan of Bill Whittle since back in the TOS days. I was keeper of his so-called ping list and I corresponded with Bill regularly at his site Eject! Eject! Eject!. Here is the link to some of the best essays you will read anywhere:

It is hard to explain but I was wired on anxiety when I started this thread. It is sometimes difficult for me to participate in the depressing threads of the day so I started this one. I hope it is not pretentious or that it detracts from others. I welcome input from anyone and I will not be defensive or offended. I thought a repository of the "various and sundry" could be useful. The name might be viewed as pretentious - I don't mind changing it. Let me know.
