elmat,

Thanks for the brilliant glimpses. Yes, you are on to something. Something momentous. But a clear understanding of the impending Apocalypse is not contained within the confines of your erudition and speculation.

But you and I both know that we are on the cusp of a dramatic world change that occurs only occasionally in the history of this planet. The human race is in the midst of a dramatic discontinuity of culture. E.O. Wilson and Stephen Jay Gould may see this in the biological world more clearly than most.

You and I see it in human cultural evolution.

Or, devolution into madness, as I see it.....

You see the future in Canada and Australia, because of natural resources.

I see the natural future in Argentina's pampas and the highlands of Kenya. Lands of natural plenty that the tribe of Is'rael decided against in order to return to a land of oppression, hardship and perpetual war 120 years ago.

Therein lies the essence of the human condition. The stupidity and sentimentality of a ridiculous romantic movement of the late 19th Century has created the first world crisis of the 21st Century.

Whoever named us "homo sapiens" was creating a sick joke.

Canada? Australia? Let me know the combined GNP of both countries. Population is only 45 million. Oh, let me know in which street is those two countries are, Jay? Translation totally irrelevant in the overall scheme of things.

Of course I'll be happy to be on my self sufficient 100 acre wood, in one of those two irrelevant safe havens as opposed to a relevant dying beast ;o) Let's see we have the fuel,, A little rocket science here and there and we'll have a big enough stick to feel relatively secure I believe.. We need to elect a hawk..
