you're a bad boy, George, bad bad boy! :)

...well...yeah. We are. For now. It's that, "Hello, reality called. God wanted to know how long it would take, and now he does. Thanks for all the drama." Love it. Thank you for the write! LK

I don't see how the existence of man has improved the world ecology. Yet I suppose if it wasn't human's that evolved it would have been another species. Imagine a world dominated by a sentient race of platypus.

So true!

Yes, the world has a beauty all its own, even without people, but then how could it be admired without people?

and "Oh" - what a speculation. One which humanity may lose in the cross-examination. Nice work, George!

George my friend, you are certainly necessary, as I am as we all are as long as we love and continue to love. if we don't, if we lose faith in such because it is too painful a thing, and out of fear remove ourselves from this most miraculous of processes, then we are puppetry to move about a stage merely for entertainments sake. In the final analysis, if we cease to love, remove ourselves from this most joyous process, then what recourse is left us but merely occupying space which is not the final frontier, but love surely is and everlasting.
