Getting rid of some (like Prisons) would require a huge sea change in how society deals with the cause but can be done if society chooses to do it.

The DVD is past its usefulness? He's saying these technologies should die at this moment. Manned space flight past its usefulness? He even says that maybe later. Hes just saying it should be killed now and therefore I don't see the problem with alot of these posts.
