A Children's Story by
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-75)
This story offers insight into how we got to where we are in terms of politics
and science. It can serve as an explanation, and possibly a justification,
to most outstanding technologies such
as plastics, pesticides, genetic engineering, and cancer research.
