"Some of the recently developed nanoparticle products may have unintended consequences. Researchers have discovered that silver nanoparticles used in socks only to reduce foot odor are being released in the wash with possible negative consequences.[40] Silver nanoparticles, which are bacteriostatic, may then destroy beneficial bacteria which are important for breaking down organic matter in waste treatment plants or farms.[41]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology
A two-year study at UCLA's School of Public Health found lab mice consuming nano-titanium dioxide showed DNA and chromosome damage to a degree "linked to all the big killers of man, namely cancer, heart disease, neurological disease and aging".[45]
It is obvious that this technology has its flaws.
Not really a big surprise! Can you name any major technology that has been plain sailing all the way? These technologies haven't even begun to touch upon their full potential yet.

Hmmm..well would you really describe the current state of affairs on this planet as mentally sane and healthy?

Pushing forward an entire restructuring of society based on these vague technological possibilities could lead to catastrophic results.
You miss my point. I think with our current technology we could do just fine if we could solve the issues in our mind which cause us to live our lives governed by fear and greed. The future technology will just make this far easier in practical terms.

We may not agree on a great many things... but I can't argue with this. It's a mentally sick, sick world on which we live.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I've been through a lot in my life and have seen first hand how much of this world works, from the bottom of social orders to the top. I couldn't agree more...

Of course the realization of this would be the end of the political forum. 
But IMO knowing it's a lost cause is a great relief. But it takes some time to get used to.

So you only "know" it because it provides relief?....Convincing arguement 
I know it looks pretty fucked but I think we will get through to the other side of the ride!

I'm saying that in a few short years this will be forgotten and we will all be dead and to get all worked up about this shit is to miss the reality behind it. I'm well aware this attitude will not go over well in a political forum where everyone is all caught up in the drama.
