16 03 2007 Fri, 16 Mar 2007That's us. Eternal. Briefly human. Hoagy knew. *Eternity* needs to be reconsidered, according to modern astrophysics. (From the Big Bang to the Last Whimper?) What God wants: He wants us to duke it out. Darwin knew. When stuff gets really scarce, Mad Max will show us the way. Saving the World: 1. Public transportation (trains, trolleys, and busses, possibly horsedrawn). 2. Triage -- not everybody can be, or should be, saved. Nor wants to be, to be exact.
3. Growth needs give way to shrinkage. Waneage the next buzzword. Making some room for the tigers and the coral reefs and the polar ice.
