 Which idea irritates you because it has not been taken far enough?
staunch: Everything. I wish I was born at least 500 years in the future. Science is just beginning and I was born at the wrong damn time. I could be flying my own space ship and visiting HN over The Subspacenet. No single advance could ever satisfy me or make up for my disappointment at being born too soon.(Not that I'm not appreciative for being alive at all. I'm fortunate in many ways, but that doesn't stop me from imagining what could have been.)
