Cajundaddy ... I thank you for your most excellent observations and comments. Your three word summation is very powerful in its directness and simplicity. Well Done.
Kramer ... Interesting reference. Wrth watching and thinking about. I than you. Your points are always both interesting and well taken. "TED" I believe must always be viewed as everything else ... with obvious suspicion. It is of particular note that all too often these "fordeen" problems are always somehow equated in billions of dollars. Hypothetical as they may be there seems to be always a threshold of no return just around the corner, a huge and growing pricetag, a "sincere" effort being made to simplify things for the percieved stupid audience and the ever present and unbelievable underlying motivation of " real concern". When I hear any of these things I want to reach for my revolver. But alas that is just me. I do than you for your Post and do not desire to dicourage you in any way.
Mankind it seems , we all agree, is in real danger of extinction from so many directions. I believe that he always has been. At any rate the outlook is indeed pessimistic. Religion has not solved or cured anything and it is the same for politics, war, education, and social enlightenment. It seems that everything mankind does becomes tainted by greed and his animalistic urges. The "Leaders" are the finest examples of this.
I do not believe this physical plane is the only existence ... if I did then I would not find the "hope" at the bottom of Pandora's Box. We must all come closer together and forsake the perversions and diversions, exchanging them for something more Spiritual and lasting and even perhaps more noble ?
