32. MORAL PROGRESS OR A DRINK TO EXTINCTION ? ....>bye>bye>humans...

"Activate and use the card that makes FREE happen" reads the recent promotional material send me by a food supplier. Credit limit $2000/ Credit available $2000 @ some 20% interest! How needy am I? How gullible?

So I have been having this ongoing rhetorical conversation with a friend of mine. He states we are a failed experiment. I maintain, in nature, there is no such thing. Some 'thing,' like us, finds a niche and fills it. That's all we did. Only thing is, we have a 'DUE DATE!' ... and we're almost there.

HEY, listen - 'FOLKS', in the 'overall scheme of things' - it's OKAY! We are a spit in time. No big deal! 'Mother' earth, GAIA, will keep spinning and spawning. Have you seen the doc about 'Life after Humans?' or the Martin Scorsese 'Surviving Progress?' Beautiful and brilliant. Shucks though about those stainless steel sinks that'll lie around, WHAT, forever? But nary no tarry, the moon will still carry a piece of our evidence; that footprint, some say created in a studio....

What's real? What's imagined? Egypt and Syria, the whole Middle East belt, but for the riches of Arabia, looking for equality and justice. Give us what YOU have, for we too are entitled! Like China and India, we all want more!

But Mother Gaia is putting her foot down, telling us: "Thank you humans, but enuff's enuff!"  

We are on a run-away train, imminently at the 'Beyond Due Date.'
The most curious fact of our species is that the greed factor has overtaken our capacity to live within the equilibrium of nature.

To that extend we are 'failing' and our time is nigh. Still, I maintain, we are NOT a failed experiment as such! We merely refused to live within our niche. Our blind drug for expansion at any cost is our nemesis.

Progress: What is it? Justice: What is it? Can I motivate you to respond?
I would very much appreciate that!
