How right you are! Keep in mind mankind is at the top of the food chain and eventually we will eat , kill ,or just destroy everything around us , including ourselves.
At this point , Mother Nature will take over and purge the Earth of all our refuse and it will then become an Eden like none of us has nor ever will see
The only control we have over this is perhaps what millenium the occurs

My pessimistic thoughts on preservation:

Good thing no one was able preserve the glacier that left the lake like it is a few thousand years ago.

When the sun turns into a red giant and this planet becomes vapor, all the preservation will be for naught.

Everything tangible is temporary except energy. Preservation is just prolonging the inevitable destruction of everything.

Merry Christmas!

Wow guys ... spending too much time in the malls ? Looking and fighting for that last parking space ?? I thought the post holiday blues were supposed to come, well, after the holidays. Besides everyone knows that the aliens will come and pick our bones clean long before either of your scenarios happen. I saw a movie on it this summer ... so it must be true !

Funny, but this has been one of the least stressful Christmas shopping seasons for me and I am a pretty upbeat person. I just think it's funny to worry about preservation so much when complete destruction of all we touch is inevitable.

While I don't advocate destruction and recklessness for the sake of destruction and recklessness, I also like to live by this motto: "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy ****, what a ******* ride!".

carpe diem
