Few will argue that this planet isn't perfect
but
it's all we've got—we ought to make the best of it. I'll admit to being an
optimist, harboring the delusion that maybe we humans actually can survive our chaotic and murderous tendencies to
live on and
even thrive here.
If we can outlast the eventual crispy cataclysm of our sun's demise, maybe we
can learn from our mistakes and make the universe an
even more interesting place. These views come from my readings, observations, hopes and dreams for
humanity. I'd rather like to think we can improve
our lot with a bit of effort. In these pages you'll probably notice an
overriding theme, expressed by a favorite saying of mine: "the more you see
the world in black and white, the less accurate is your picture."
That saying arose after hearing someone try to distill a
complicated human interaction into black and white. What rubbish.
I've heard it said that humans are a virus on the
planet and wonder what purpose we serve. I propose we don't need to
serve a purpose. Life is fun. It's worth preserving for its own sake. So
I say lets preserve it! We can have a bit more fun on the way.
Life is complicated. Wonderful, but complicated. Lets
try to better understand and appreciate it.
Enjoy!

We
Americans are far from perfect. As individuals we have the same variety as
people anywhere else on the globe.
Some of us are incredibly arrogant and disrespectful while others would give you the
shirt off their back. Like
people everywhere, we do the best we can with what we've got. I'm
certainly happy to have popped into being in this particular time and this
particular place. |
