Humanity has an amazing inability to plan.  Not too many
generations ago, when our relatives lived by hunting and
gathering, the inability to plan for the next season meant
death. Planners survived. The clueless died.  But today,
Homo Sapiens eats at McDonalds - for the moment, planning
and survival are not strongly linked.    --David Isenberg
