Progress or hell?

BIS Shrapnel chief economist Frank Gelber says you can't stand in the way of progress.

Mr Gelber's tautology, I bet, doesn't measure up to my version of progress, which is emancipation of the human spirit and a decent and sustainable lifestyle.

One does not want the horror of Sydney to be repeated on the Central Coast.

The vast concrete canyons crammed with countless automobiles, you would think, are the work of some disturbed science-fiction writer.

But no, it is horrible reality.

This hellish world of Sydney is a hell the priests or poets could never imagine.

This is progress? Not in my book.
