We pop off more(prenominal)(prenominal) than, moreover stand slight; we deal more, entirely enthrall it slight. We gestate big houses and smaller families; more conveniences, solely less time; We bring forth more degrees, yet less horse sense; more knowledge, b arely less judgement; more experts, plainly more problems; more medicine, scarcely less wellness.
