WHAT A WONDERFUL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. There will be no loosers! The "GLASS CEILING" will be broken, one way or the other. However, that's not going to have any real impact on the world's real problems.
On the other hand, just look at how much more Mr. Al Gore has accomplished, once he left the politial scene. I believe that folks like Mr. Gore and T. Boone Pickens will lead the world's people in next generation of salvation of our world. As I understand, there are very few identified sources of energy that come from "beyond our planet." The two most prominent are our Sun and our Moon.
In my opinion, IT IS COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL TO CONTINUE TO EXTRACT ENERGY SOURCES FROM THE NONRENEWABLE "CRUST" OF OUR OWN PLANET, WHEN THESE EXTERNAL SOURCES, ESPECIALLY THE SUN, ARE AVAILABLE IN SUCH ABUNDANCE THAT WE DO NOT AND DO NOT NEED TO HARVEST ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR USE. It is said that "hind sight is always more accurate." That is probably true, however, at this time it is our best source of wisdom. To look back over the last 150 years and ponder how we could have been so wasteful of our worldly resources, is absolutely pathetic!
It is our best understanding that "nature on this planet" is a "balance. The "natural law of unintented consequences" or as some would say "Murphy's law" will prevail in way to many circumstances. Example, if we burn the earths surface and subsurface, we generate poluted atmosphere that causes "GLOBAL WARMING." In "hind sight" this seems easy to understand, however having the "foresight" to see this coming, was something that the "COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE OF THE MASSES" COULD NOT CONTEMPLATE, EVEN AFTER THE SCIENCE WAS PROVEN. This is known as the falacy of collective thinking. Something like trying to herd cats!
NOW THAT WE HAVE GOOD LEADERS LIKE MR. PICKENS TELLING EXAXTLY THE ROUTES TO TAKE, WE SHALL SAVE OUR PLANET! HOWEVER, WE MUST CONTINUE TO PREDICT THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES:
1. As we make life easier and cheaper for more humans, they will continue to populate to the food chain. More population means more suffering and less comfort.
WE MUST FIND WAYS TO HUMANELY CONTROL THE GROWTH OF HUMAN POPULATION ON THIS PLANET OR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL GO BY WAY OF THE DINOSAUR AND MANY OTHER SPECIES OF BEINGS THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY DEMISED ON OUR WORLD.
Thank You for Caring
UPDATE: OCTOBER / 2010
GOOD LORD, IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE I POSTED THIS. IT APPEARS THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO HERD CATS. HUMANS BEING THE MOST DISTRUCTIVE AND CONSUMPTIVE FORCE ON OUR PLANET, ARE UNABLE TO CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY. The latest predictions that I've heard, indicate that the world population of us humans will more than double in this century. (FROM 6 BILLION NOW, TO 14 BILLION BY 2100)
This prediction appears overly optomistic to this optomist, in that, there are no mistakes in the grand scheme of the universe, and we are well on our way to gross over population regarding our resources. Remember that survival of the species has little concern for the individual or the quality of life. We have out smarted ourselves by our consumptive capabilities, while continuing to multiply exponetially.
I REMAIN HOPEFUL THAT WE MAY FIND WAYS TO "SLOW THE BREEDING PROCESSES" SO THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS MAY ALSO ENJOY A QUALITY OF LIFE THAT HAS BEEN OUR GOOD FORTUNE TO HAVE EXPERIENCED!
It is not my intention to offend. It is my intention to cause consideration for the obvious rather than the politically correct...THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
