See: lectronic communication has brought us the 24/7 workday, 2-weeks a year vacations (mostly taken as a few long weekends) - 2 paychecks + childcare to manage the er inconveniece of there being a life other than at the office. Frantic scurrying about as techno adds more and more pointless things to do, just to walk in place at pre-'75 adjusted incomes.

Pigeons OTOH represent a time before techno- for its own sake, supplanted any human qualities remaining in the [employment units]. A time when construction of TLAs was not deemed an actual occupation, and language was not edited by Word's 'thesaurus' - to eliminate 'unpleasant associations' (see another post).

So you see? Pigeon-488 just might save the remnants of civilization from further robotification (in language and deed). If it comes in time, that is.

As our Selected pResident says: yer either For Us or Agin Us! (Remember too: the Department of Pigeon Relations.. may have to visit you at your home)
