Yes, an Edison Electric Car!THE PROGRESS REPORT
We are used to the twin themes of progress and evolution. Life is indeed a journey; things have changed rapidly in our lifetime. Whether this is true progress, the evolving of an advanced species, or just another cycle in the greater scheme of things remains to be seen. There is something about us that yearns for accomplishment and a sense of continual improvement. We build our towers of Babel just in time to be scattered in chaos. It seems that whatever stimulates a civilization's growth eventually becomes the same factor that completely undoes it. Reality is riddled with paradox.
The earliest cars were electric. They were quiet and clean. Someday we will have to pick up where we left off with that one. We "progressed" with another fuel. It may be the paradoxical progress that does us in. Lessons learned on a grand scale tend to be cataclysmic. What works for the few may not work for the many.
Moral and spiritual progress is a little harder to detect. It is easy to confuse technologic progress with ethical or moral progress. Reading the news makes one wonder just how far out of the cave we have come in our spiritual evolution. Replacing churches with consumer businesses may not have been the best move. The separation of church and state looks pretty good on paper, but it appears to be more than a bit schizophrenic in practice. The paradox emerges. The state becomes the church in the name of not being the church.
I would like to come back in a few thousand years to see how this era turned out. Did I evaluate is pessimistically when I was here? Did my intuition warn me of some downward slope? Am I getting worse while thinking I am getting better? Is there paradox to my own imagined progress?
Let's meet again in a few centuries and see how this one turned out.

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of fair-minded dish out in days of yore staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate stress and strain and just think about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've in any case collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Appear Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com answerable to the Toys section. It's like a melodic caddy, a spinning better, and a radiance show all rolled into one. Which is prodigious amusement! The gyroscope pleasure whirl object of round a minute. The laser enlightenment manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure corresponding exactly toy that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.
My dogs are also pretty eccentric nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser slight show, and also because it produces music. But after they got worn it, they've stopped barking but virtuous keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused alongside it. Sometimes it's meet to possess fun toys on all sides the lineage so that you can desert the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count prepare viands or get changed. The gyroscope is unified such play with with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a taper indicate with red, blue, and unskilled colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but allowable adequacy to treat any redone guest to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look particular cold, and slightly masculine with that dragon imprint.
The music luminescence plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also acclimatized this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the hostelry elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as well so that the laser brighten clarify produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a rather dreamt-up atmosphere. She loved it, past the way, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping put for all gifts and ideas in compensation romantic occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser light make clear gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a great Christmas give-away seeking the toddler or methodical the pet! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a nice totalling to the traditional Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it near the Christmas tree and peradventure spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my function anyway again!
