Divide and Conquer

Divide and Conquer

Room for improvement, a more perfect union, manifest destiny, hope for the future, a rising tide, a beacon on the hill…

One, not so bright day, our Sun is going to turn into a red giant and engulf the first four terrestrial planets, recycling the entire planet Earth; which will come as both good and bad news to hard core environmentalist, unfortunately a great many creatures will be added to the list of extinct species; including ardent planet protectors; not to worry, those very same greenies will be the first to quickly point out that recycling is good for mother Earth.

Now, this won’t happen any time soon – the threat is way off in the future and we need to act locally and think globally and leave the smallest footprint possible, tread lightly, respecting the diversity of cultures and creatures that cohabit this great big wonderful blue marble – spaceship Earth.

Now, continuing the spacey theme, let’s say a giant asteroid will hit Earth and cause a mass extinction; this could be good or bad, depending on your focus. Man against Nature and nature doing a number on man.
Nature sure can be a pain. Mother Nature, the Sun, human nature, makes me thirsty just thinking about it.
