who would embrace the idea that we can move on ---

Mars and water -- seems to be the combo being sold now ...

"Go forth and multiply" --- ????

We're not "coming to an age" . . . we're coming to a point where we are meeting

catastrophe. Neither does life "adapt" in any immediate sense. Evolution takes time.

"Manifest Destiny" is not an evolutionary strategy -- rather it is anti-Nature.

Considering Global Warming, I think we'll be lucky if we have 15 relatively stable years ...

50 or 90 . . . questionable.

Re overpopulation, I think education campaigns would be very effective ---

they have been in the past.

Trust we might have to go no further than that.

Middle Class is a double edged sword -- desirable on the one hand --

but greatly increases consumerism.

I think clean, renewable energy may be the least of our problems ---

and would presume that much alternative energy research has been suppressed.

Alas, humans may be unfit for space or life on any other planet.
