I remember recommending "The Postman" to you... You might want to read "Footfall".




Yea, I am also mindfull of the problems we face. It is so complicated, this system of control that has been created, that it lies in front of our very eyes, and yet, we have to look for it... Any time you have a stagnant or shrinking resource pool, with an exponential population growth, you face problems of mass extinction. Any species can face this problem, and every species does, including ours. Read about the "Great Famine" of 1315-1317......it helped to propogate the Black Death, and the Hundred Years War. They are a three-legged beast: Famine, Disease, and War. Any one of them can easily create the other two.




Unfortunately, if there is a food shortage, which there is, our piddly little nation will not have the resouces to assist our neighbors and our allies. War and civil unrest will result, as people fight over an increasingly small ammount of resources. We have been born into the illusion that our nation is "the greatest nationin the world"....when we have become second rate, at best. We have enough wealth, however, that we will not feel the effects of this issue for years, perhaps. Did you know that at Walmart and Costco, the large bags of rice now have a buy limit on them...it's like one bag or two bags per customer or something. Food shortages...worldwide.




But we need not despair. This is as natural as a cleansing fire through a forrest that has become oevrgrown with weeds and brush. "Global Warming" is also a natural event, and with our middle-aged sun getting warmer as it begins burning substances heavier than Hydrogen, we will see some significant changes to our world in the next 500,000 years...in the next 50-75, however, we will see a 5-6 degree change in ocean temperature, and significant/further desalination of our oceans. THAT is VERY BAD for us.




Remember how we used to talk about that? "The planet isn't screwed...we are".
Haha!



You know, guys like you and I understand things like this. Most of these people we meet every day are clueless sheep. They forget that before being anything else, they are simply human, and that everything that can begin, can someday end. They are in perpetual denial, reinforced by simple ignorance; a lack of basic understanding of the world around them, taught by the television and the newspaper and the teacher in their school what to believe. It's amazing really.
