What do you make of this? Yeah, I know, more propaganda from Al Gore's insidious plan to profit from fear-mongering (now including those wiley Norwegians).
Why do I even bother posting this stuff? I am sinking into despair about this beautiful planet, that we ruined thru our God-given (well, Evolution-given, actually) insatiable greed and quest for comfort and convenience.
To me, it's no wonder that we haven't made contact with any other 'intelligent life-form' elsewhere in our galaxy - perhaps it's the Nature of Life that any civilization sophisticated enough to be able to produce machines to transmit and receive electromagnetic communications is also going to inevitably suffocate in the by-products of its industrialization. Perhaps I am over-anthropomorphizing.
I saw a video clip of Vonnegut last week, where he was asked what message he would deliver to the people of The Future. He looked into the camera and said, "We're sorry. Forgive us. We were drunk on petroleum."

2050? Are they nuts? I don't think that's near soon enough, in fact I fear it's too late. There's no way anyone in this country is going to give up their precious (car that is). And in a place like Tampa where commissioners who have played along with a citizen's watch group the last couple years - WANTING their input, just did the opposite of the advice they'd asked for. They agreed to let developers swallow up some more land (in an unofficial meeting) - which is against the rules of notifying the public of an official meeting. How can we win? Mass transit will never exist here.
