New Scientist I often have strongly philanthropic daydreams of salvaging this miserable race and its environment so we could live in a more natural state. Without running ourselves ragged and taking down every last living thing with us. I have understood for quite some time that the planet we inhabit would keep on keepin' on despite the worst we throw at it... it's just the health, well-being, and spiritual integrity of our species that is at stake. However, if the planet could heal itself that fast after our demise - and be that apathetic to our plight - I find it extremely difficult not to do the same thing. -_-
