Seems you swallowed the "Limits of Growth" fallacy. First reported in the 1960s, they've been revising their limit upwards just about every decade. Fools don't realize they've created a modern version of "Ptolemy's Wheels"!

You may consider yourself a "rat" but I think most humans are a higher life form than a rat. We are not helpless and with the privatization of space, you may well see the moon and mars colonized within your lifetime (assuming you're not over 65). As a matter of fact, if not for politics, it could have been done already!

You may grovel in the dirt at your feet, but many of us have our sites on the stars (or at least the planets). The technology is already here to accomplish it.
