Nature cold and hostile? I think if that were truly the case, we would have been wiped off the scene long ago.


And we have come rather close several times since the beginning of the species. How much time have you spent camped out in the wildernes my eastern friend? Just so I can get my eye exercises I'll join you



But to return to the main topic of this thread, my view is neither optimistic nor pessimistic. My view is that we as a species are able to choose to act and conduct ourselves the right way at any time if we want to. We can choose not to attack, kill, and destroy in order to survive. We can choose not to rape the land to live. The only trouble is that often we don't choose, and just run on automatic pilot. Our ability to make things better for ourselves is always there; we merely choose not to exercise this ability.
