***************

I was staying at Dunn's Freehold, recuperating from wounds
received during an unfortunate mutant raid.  Dunn chose to
share his philosophy over dinner.

"It was the burden of technology that did it," averred my
host.  "Society relied on complex machinery that few could
understand, let alone repair.  All it took was one global
catastrophe to bring about anarchy."

Dunn lit a pipe.  "We won't return there.  We'll stay small.
Everybody retains self-sufficiency, and we'll survive 
anything."

Dunn's daughter toddled in, bawling: "Daddy!  My biodrone
won't metabolize simple sugars!  Can you fix it?"

Dunn smiled.  "Of course, honey.  Give it here."
