Ridiculous? What gives with the insults, Tom? Have I done something wrong to
you? Mind your tone and read it again. "Everything that has ever happened or
will ever happen with mankind" as in everything we do begins here on this
planet. This is our home, our starting point for any step we will take, even
across space and time. Everything begins here in our heads, our hearts and
on our planet.
Sorry you decided to infer it another way. But who knows if mankind will
even last that long and if our planet will survive US as well comets,
meteors and nearby supernovas. I don't assume we'd be abondoning our dear
home unless it became severly uninhabitable. But I never said or tried to
suggest that we'd never get off this planet.
Is there a point to these insults? Am I supposed to be impressed?
