Where do you get this ridiculous notion from?  Are you SERIOUSLY going to tell me you
think we'll never get off this planet in the next billion years?

I suppose you believe we haven't really been to the moon already?


why not make it better, greener, cleaner, safer
and more sustainable for all? I realize that competition is a driving force
in nature and helps life flourish. But doesn't cooperation have an equal, if
not more valuable, effect on our progress? So, how specifically we achieve
this I cannot decide at this moment, but I can speculate it beginning
through education. The next generation (all children around the world) must
have a multicultural appreciation and earth-friendly skills. It's more of a
revolution of thought at the grass roots level, in my opinion. Like any
idea, it's lots of small steps leading to bigger steps and so on. I think
erasing poverty would hasten progress but that goal is at the mercy of those
who control all the money and power, Americans or otherwise.

That isn't going to do SPIT if we keep growing the population.  Population growth
control has to be part of the core of any "fix".

(...) Yes, I would agree because "willing" is the operative here. But I'm talking about "having to" situations, where prices are dictated by a dominating power rather than made by mutual, good faith agreements. I'm talking about dirty trade (...)
