Physical resources will run out. But, with the mental resources, we have
the ability to find other ways. Solar, Wind, Hydro, those resources that
are renewable...

I can't agree with that. Nobody taught me that "God was Dead," or that
there was survival of the fittest. As a gentleman of the new century, I
have to say that personal choice is the greatest gift that God did give us,
and that to try to take that away from anyone or any group of people is just
wrong. You know, the whole take the beam out of my eye before I poke at the
mote in yours?
I also don't think that some individuals don't value people because they
see there being too many people, I see them as sad individuals (stressing
that word) who unfortunately, aren't able to value others as highly as they
do themselves. Blame whomever, whatever you like, it's a sad fact that they
have always been there, it's just easier for the media to exploit them for a
"good cause" now. Look at the song "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam. That happened in
the early 90's and was buried on page 3 of the local paper. If that
incident happened now, there would be a special bulletin on CNN, and Oprah
would have Jeremy's parents on to discuss why their son did it.

Maybe not physical resources, to repeat myself, but yeah. We stand on the
shoulders of those who have gone before us, and in doing so can one day
reach the stars. (Again, sorry for waxing)(or waning, as the case may be)
