The sense of something being "good" is a social construct, but if you believe the biblical record, God calls creation "good" even before the creation of man. If you don't believe in that record, you could observe the difference between this planet and the other planets we know, and conclude that there is something far more wonderful and interesting going on here that on the barren landscapes of other worlds. Just looking at the planets from high up would draw someone to our world, and then to observe the many networks of cities, the travel of air, land and sea craft, the myriad forms of life and vegitation, how could they not say "bravo".

Oh, indeed. This planet is wonderful. I expect there to be billions like it out there with critters just as happy to find themselves sentient. Of course, we think it is good because we can thrive on it. Looked at another way, we have adapted (evolved) to make use of what the planet has available. Of course we fit. It's called evolution. And it is good. :)

I like your tagline, BTW. I can tell when I should stop buying something. That's when I am using it so much I figure I better stock up on it. That means I won't use the stock and would be wise not to buy...except that until I stock up, I won't quit using...
