and yet....with all this poisonous progress we are living decades longer and my children and grandchildren have NO cavities, while I had dozens and dozens, with crowns, root canals and now an implant.

So it is all sort of maxing out: Poisoning the planet and building mega mansions and mega cars again (since oil is cheap for NOW), enjoying goods and services and hip replacements, longer life.

It is the nature of every species to use its ecological niche and grow its population to the greatest size possible.

Once the resources are depleted, the species will 'crash' back to a manageable size.

It is the nature of EVERY species to do this...built in.

So we're on the apex of the roller coaster..............hang on.
