This post over at WorldChanging got me thinking.
For those who liken the human species to a virus, feeling the planet would be better off without us …
For those who poo-poo technology …
Pop quiz: What do you do when an asteroid is hurtling toward the Earth and the impact will likely cause mass extinction?
Maybe send some pesky humans into space to knock the rock off its course? By employing some fancy technology?
But wait … are extinction-level events “natural”? Cause if so I assume we humans should not prevent them.
Maybe I’m just a confused “libertarian.” Take the poll and tell me what to think.
Sorry, the poll you are seeking no longer exists. If you’re in a voting mood, suggest a poll and you might just see it on the site.
