What’s your opinion as to these points?

Unfortunately, the human race is predisposed to failure. Here are just three of the reasons why.

1) The human race is predisposed to procrastination which means that we will never try to fix something until it's "in our face". Even then, it has to be "absolutely" proven that it is recognizably affecting our "quality of life" before we will act. For example, take the environmental situation. We still have people (generally for economic reasons) fighting the preponderance of scientific data that indicates we better do something to fix the environment. They seem to think that if they are justified in doing nothing as long as they can find "any little piece of data" which "may" indicate that global warming isn't occurring. Let me ask you this; is it better to act and later discover that the situation was not as "dire" as we suspected or to do nothing and later discover that it's too late to fix???

2) We are naturally territorial (yes, like many other creatures). The problem is that the "sticks & stones" (which were replaced by fire, spears, arrows, gunpowder, etc.) we used to kill the challengers to "our territory" in the beginning have evolved into biological and nuclear weapons with the capability to poison the planet. By the way, how does territory get "claimed" anyway? I mean, at some point in the past nobody "owned" any property but now we all think we have the right to "own" that which was never "BOUGHT". BTW, yes, I "own" land and a house but I still stand by my point that neither the former owner nor I actually ever have had or currently have the rights to buy and sell it.

3) We have worldwide leadership that for the most part is either ignorant or indifferent to the truth (or, in the case of the U.S., BOTH). Without leadership, we will never make any headway and, regrettably, I believe that there are too many governments that are more concerned with either staying ahead of or catching up to, everyone else and are willing to accept the consequences of future problems in order reap the "rewards" of today.

Maybe, if we get lucky, we’ll get a “mini” version of the movie “The day after tomorrow” that will force the world into action. Unfortunately, according to the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, James Hansen (as well as many other scientists), we have 10 or less yrs to turn it around and I don’t think we will. That’s why my wife and I have decided not to bring another life into a world that has more of a negative outlook now than it ever has. Enjoy life and live for the now because too many governments, and many corporations, are steadfast in their path to destroying the future.

I like to try and sneak into group photos so they ask "Who the hell is that?" when they look at them. Or if someone asks me to take a picture for them I zoom in on their feet or crotches? What do you do?

Do you know how big a breadbox is? Do you even know WHAT a breadbox is?

I say most of you know; my sister says you don't. I'm sure I'm right!

You know guys, I don't have anyone else to talk to and tell them what is going on. But you know, sometimes people are darn stupid that they don't notice that they are being used by some ******. I am already tired of telling this person that he is being used, I end up being the wrong one at the end. Although, they get to use him and I am the one who has to kick and look. This person is very very close to me, almost like my family, but I am getting screwed over since he doesn't believe any word I say. Now what do I do? Send everything to hell and get outa here or just wait because it is not going to be mature for me to burst out to a person who is so close to me?
I don't know, I just feel like dying right now.... I don't get treated the way I should be! I am so darn out of energy... screw everything!

Because it's easier than being nice?

But it's so tiring to be mean. It takes up a lot of energy and it places unnecessary stress on the body. I get neck and shoulder pains after a bout of bitchiness, that's why I'm often nice to everyone. And I'm a saint so it's hard to act meanly towards others.

We as human species have not awakened to our true place on this earth. The Earth has tolerated us for a long time with a good place to live in harmony with all creatures. Through our interdepence, our so called freedoms we have destroyed the very fabric of nature and now we face the wrath of mother earth as well as our own creation from destruction of the eco-systems and continued war. We must wake up now!
