1. I always appreciate discussion of this subject.

When I look back instead of forward, like I think you are doing as well, I see how we survived life as difficult as it gets, and still managed to trample that which threatened us. It's ironic that that very strength is doing us in.

50 million? That seems extremely low.

Yes, I am in a somewhat self-destructive mode as I rage about how sick the human race is, as I watch the disaster unfold. I get so angry with the deforestation and pollution. It's helpful just to hear another's words on the subject. And for that I am grateful. We may be few, but we are not alone.


edit- I was thinking last night that this is all the result of human sexual behavior. I know you are advocating forgiveness, and love, but I have to say that if people were responsible, we wouldn't be in this mess. There's a girl band that did a tune back in the 90's with lyrics "Sex is for making babies". It's a feverish, high pitched screaming song. I will always remember how good it felt to hear it the first time. I am angry about how irresponsible almost everyone is with respect to sexual behavior. I suppose that is why I almost only encounter resistance when discussing this subject. Everyone knows they've contributed to it. Hell, I find it hard to forgive people for fucking up the world I live in. I live in it too.
