I don't think it's great, I just don't think the solution is asking
for it not to happen, but asking what we'll do differently and how it
will really affect us when it does. There will of course be some
benefits, which are worth considering, otherwise we might as well all
go jump off the suspension bridge the way some people talk of it.

In fact, why not, youtube could do with some more base jumping videos,
I wanna see that guy with the jetboots and wingsuit flying past my
window next week.
