strange daze

I was thinking about the world potentially on the horizon. I read a projection that in this half century our actions will push all the large mammals into the category of things past and no more. I don't know that I care to live in a world where my own species pushes out of their spot all of the brethren we have which possess honor, awe, humility, and a knowledge of things which are so larger than ourselves and not ours to control because of a mentality of ego and greed which causes us to think all things should be ours and that we can manage systems better than the natural way they are. What folly we do commit, to read how I put it should make one feel ill. It does me. And some people use the biggest cop out every to befoul the voice of mankind. Namely that god will jump out of the sky from a portal and make everything as it should be. That's the most convenient do nothing attitude I've ever heard or would care to, because to top that you would have to be oozing bullshit from your ears. The way I read that idea is that the essence of the great teachers will live again through us when we decide to take responsibility and follow the wisdom paths outlined. But, some people are from Missouri, meaning they have to be shown doom on the horizon before they take steps to counteract it, the problem with that is, in some cases, when something is close enough to show it to someone it's too late to do what's necessary to stem the tide.
