] Lets talk about the real world for a moment. We had been
] discussing it earlier, and I... I wanted to bring this up
] to you earlier about the real world, and this is I guess
] as good a time as any. I don't really know to put this,
] so I'll be blunt. We broke it.
]
] Please don't be mad. I know we were supposed to
] bequeath to the next generation a world better than the
] one we were handed. So, sorry.
]
] I don't know if you've been following the news
] lately, but it just kinda got away from us. Somewhere
] between the gold rush of easy internet profits and an
] arrogant sense of endless empire, we heard kind of a
] pinging noise, and uh, then the damn thing just died on
] us. So I apologize.
