Phrases in this episode:
I grow little of the food I eat
and of the little I do grow, I did not breed or perfect the seeds.
I do not make any of my own clothing.
I speak a language I did not invent or refine
I did not discover the mathematics I use.
I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of
and did not legislate
and do not enforce or adjudicate
I am moved by music I did not create myself.
When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive.
I did not invent the transistor
the microprocessor
object oriented programming
or most of the technology I work with
I love and admire my species, living and dead
I am totally dependent on them for my life and well being.
