If it were true that a heavy concentration of industry is destructive
to human life, one would find life expectancy declining in the more
advanced countries. But it has been rising steadily. Here are the
figures on life expectancy in the United States:

*       1900 - 47.3 years
*       1920 - 53 years
*       1940 - 60 years
*       1968 - 70.2 years (the latest figures compiled [as of January 1971])
Anyone over 30 years of age today, give a silent 'Thank you' to the
nearest, grimiest, sootiest smokestacks you can find.
Ayn Rand
The Anti-Industrial Revolution, The New Left: the Anti-Industrial
Revolution,(1905-1982)
