The penalty for short circuiting evolution - either control reproduction or find new biospheres to plunder.

I sincerely would love the idea that there are worlds out there where we may survive- but since we have not yet found any sign of this yet we must assume that quitting the earth may prove a dream. Which comes to the question as to how much time do we have left before we either eat ourselves up or nature purges itself of us.

As a healer I guess I’m confronted with the idealism that every man deserves to live as long as he chooses. But what I find inexcusable is that individuals can choose life and life giving treatments but are prevented from making a conscious choice to die. Why the taboo. Why is it that the most advanced of human societies find it impossible to address this simple dilemma?

bnd/jammergroups.php is also interesting. It’s basically about people who hate the useless consumption of Black Friday and so decide not to shop on that day. A couple of guys actually go to Wal-Mart, fill up shopping carts with stuff and deposit them in various areas and go back for more shopping carts. The eventual log jam they theorize will prevent rampant greedy shopping. Would be fun to be involved in such nonsense but would hate to be at the receiving end.

Trust the Internet to allow the kookiest of organizations to become a part of the global consciousness. Anyways it’s a start – lets hope we eventually understand our role as the first of the earth’s self aware creatures and the evolution into Gaia.
