It's also obvious that the folks we have piloting our communal bus are, at best, in denial, and at worst in cahots the those with vested interests in staying the course. They'll tell you that there's plenty of oil, food and water. That it's more important to keep the world's artificial economic systems greased and humming along than worrying about critters, like owls and fish. (BTW, such folk don't consider themselves critters.) They're solutions center around economic "growth" --more trade, more commerce, more travel, more drilling, more mining, more, more, more.

Of course that can't happen, and it won't. Mother Nature will simply clean house as She has so many times before whenever the Earth's systems got out of whack for one reason or another. And She doesn't give a fig what Dick Cheney or the American Enterprise Institute freemarketeers think, claim or want.

And, unless someone pulls the emergency stop cord, and soon, Mother Nature will make sure Dick Cheney and George Bush's kids and grandkids -- along with ours -- get front row seats to the Darwinian version of The Rapture.
