absolutely. We are a catastrophic and lethal infection which is about to
bring the planet's ecology crashing into ruin.
It'll do just fine without us though. Probably didn't miss the dinosaurs
one bit.
or, on the other hand, we are the glory of the universe, about to make
this planet into a paradise. Our choice.
I like the second option. That's what I'm working on. Paradise is an
achievable goal, but it does involve loving each other, and (hi there,
Harry) lower forms of life.
We become so confused in arguing over the path that we forget our common
goal, I think.
Happy new moon to all of you.
