Sorry but I dont have any faith that people are intelligent enough and will work together to solve this crisis. Its going to take an 'act of god' to fix things. Probably a virus that wipes out the majority of the human race bringing it down to a more manageable level. Thats if we dont all kill each other first in nuclear war.

Could be closer than you think. The more people who get H1N1 the bigger the chance the virus flips a couple of nucleotides and mutates into our demise.

Yeah tell me about it... the northern communities are having issues with H1N1 right now. I've been exposed (and it may or may not have made me sick... I haven't been sick enough in the past 3 months to warrant being tested) but it's the fact that so many people are getting exposed that worries me. Or rather, doesn't worry me...

anyone here seen the movie "Idiocracy"? funny, but the concept behind the story is... foreboding. that said, the more babies we crank out, the less resources for everyone. As a whole, we are already using far more than the world's resources can provide us.
