That is foolish hubris, since these bipedal apes are not all powerful. It will be amusing to observe the reaction of the bipedal apes when the ecological limits of what the Earth can support are exceeded for an extended period. Well we bipedal apes have a long track record of solving problems. Since problem solving with technology grows exponentially over time, there is a very good chance we can continue to solve problems. More foolish hubris. Pride goes before the fall. Again you are just ****ed because nobody probably considers you part of the solution and will pay you for solutions. Another stupid assumption. However, I know I am not a parasite on others, unlike so many of the "successful". More of you being ****ed off at not being able to be successful in life. How would Mr. May know? Omniscience? Sheesh! I have a middle class income, which I more than earn, rather than leaching off the labor of others. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |

The result is increased congestion caused by transit resulting in greatly increased pollution and green house gases. That's so stupid, my head exploded. The SF Bay area spends two thirds of its transportation funds to carry 5% of the travel. If you can't understand how that causes major problems, then you are worthless as a person. And that's why SF is in the running for Congestion Pricing, to force folks off of their cars and into more efficient transportation. Unfortunately, here in NYC, mass transit is so overutilized that we can't squeeze more drivers into the trains. Not that I believe your numbers of course. A superior human being prefers to ride a bicycle. Naturally, but sometimes those trains are very convenient. If the choice is driving or biking, I bike. But when I can sit on a train and read, that is also nice. The jury may be out on whether to listen to the radio while biking, but I think we all agree that reading while biking is a no no. |
