Build it and they will come!

Movie, Fields Of Dreams

So by all means let's have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills.

And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.

They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
