The whole key to the survival of our species is balance. We are so far
out of balance now that it will take drastic measures to come back
into balance without major loss of life to our species. Look what
we've already done to other species.

Look at what we've done to our own already.

Turning a blind eye to the destruction we're causing to earth won't do
anything but make the outcome more radical. Lesson the number of
survivors who will be tasked with rebuilding what we've destroyed, and
in turn making that rebuilding take much longer than it would take if
we started now.

Does anyone doubt that IF our species actually does live through our
own mass suicide, that *all* humans will work together finally? It may
be ten thousand years before we do so, but I firmly believe that we,
as a species, will finally learn to live as one people on the entire
planet. I wish I could be there when it happens.

Your right Storrmmee, Namey said her tribe never used what wasn't
needed. They didn't allow greed to flourish among them. She said they
had an outcast system for those who disobeyed tribal values in any
extreme. Kind of a "Our way or the highway".
