– Automobiles are…Automobiles are a useless nuisance.
– What did you say George?
– I said automobiles are a useless nuisance. Nothing amount to anything but a nuisance, and they had no business to be invented.
– Course you forget Mr Morgan makes them. Also did his share in inventing them. If you weren't so thoughtless, he might think you rather offensive.
– I'm not sure that George is wrong about automobiles.With all their speed forward, they may be a step backward in civilisation. May be that they won't add to the beauty of the world, or the life of men's souls. I'm not sure. But automobiles have come. And almost all outward things are going to be different because of what they bring.They're going to alter war and they're going to alter peace. And I think men's minds are going to be changed in subtle ways because of automobiles. And it may be that George is right. Maybe, that in 10 or 20 years from now, if we can see the inward change in men by that time, I shouldn't be able to defend the gasoline engine, but would have to agree with George, that automobiles had no business to be invented.
