Both of you, actually. We hum...well said, good man. Both of you, actually. We humans are a remarkably short-sighted bunch. We tend not to realize a resource is dwindling until we're hungry and wonder why dinner is not on the table. The planet was here before us and will go on long after we are gone. A new species of parasite may take hold, or it may not. But we should not be fatalistic about it. If we are at all interested in our survival on this planet, we should take some measures NOW to make sure that happens. But like diet and exercise, those measures will be no fun, and some may even require actual work or sacrifice on our part. Good luck selling that to the masses!Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-61704891284512862522009-07-28T12:35:55.493-04:002009-07-28T12:35:55.493-04:00I couldn't agree with you more. The problem as...I couldn't agree with you more. The problem as I see it and I think you'll agree, that the parasites on this planet will wait until the very last minute to even begin dealing with a problem. The problem then is that there's a tipping point at which no emergency measures will prevent parasites from becoming compost. You are right when you say things have changed. That was evident when one of the astrounauts noted that the ice cap at the pole was far smaller than when he last saw it 12 years ago. Another thing to consider is population growth. When we were kids there was something like 2 billion people in the world. Today China alone has that many. Makes you wonder just how many parasites this old globe can handle.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
