lots of wishfull thoughts!
I find it funny when people read an article that is researched and based on facts,if they don't believe it, then they reject all the facts and replace them with their own opinion. So for sure they will not be able to decide who to believe when a real emergency hits hard. So many folks will follow misguided hotheads all the way to the precipiss. They may even jump with a smile in the afterglow of a few atom bombs.
I was wondering why when we see the doctor they give us tests based on 30 year old science. Surely we could update the doctors. How come we miss the mark, we know better, but yet there is a definite lag between our knowledge and the application of it.
Then I woke up. Our current existence has very little to do with the gulf spill or Obama.
The freedom we enjoy today was 50 years in the making, Unless we do the same kind of work today, 50 years from now you'll have a vegetative populace scared of the sun and their own shadow. Unless we are ready to march the street expect you grankids to be legally bound to their sofas.
They'll be fed on lab food and kept alive with different drugs. They'll be fedup with politics and believe everything on Fox.
The thing is when extinction occurs it happens fast. So stating 100 years is too short is based on your own fear mighthelp you drive your SUV to work guilt free, but it does nothing for our grankids. The reality is the house of card is fragile. The proof; 95% of the world population are dependant on others to feed themselves. (probably closer to 98% 99% most industrial farmers could not produce anything if they had no oil and many of them buy and sell their crop in advance, they don't own seeds and have no ability to run a farm without oil and money) . If all the other facts bother you, then wonder where your food comes from? how does it get here? How would you get fed if international banking was not able to move the money around for a couple weeks?
Better have lots of ammo to defend those last couple boxes of Cheerios!
Take a deep breath and think, the decisions we make today will determine how our children will be equipped in the face of extinction.
I personnally believe some form of intelligent life will emerge, but humans domination is about to end. It is nice to dream about the star, but even if it becomes possible you might save a few thousand individuals, You'd never move an entire population!
