    A lifeform with a cognitive faculty should be able to find what it will take to assure its own survival, through science and technology and conceptual collaboration. I'm not sure that pure Objectivism is enough; too many adherents develop an unforgiving rigidity that impedes adapting to changing circumstances.

    The appearance of humans coincides with the beginning of the current mass extinction event. It's probably causal, but they can't rule out coincidence or some other factor causing humans to thrive and the mass-extinction.

    Even hunter-gatherer tribes understood the concept of limiting hunting because of the effect it has on next year's hunting. When the industrial revolution happened and population exploded, we started having a greater impact. It appears our activities now may have a great cost on others in the form of global warming. If we had to pay for them, the supply curve would shift and we'd more quickly commercialize sustainable energy alternatives. This will happen eventually anyway. It's a question of how much net environmental cost (there will be some costs and some benefits; a net cost) it incurs and if we could really move the needle if we had to pay those costs as the time we use the energy. (Move the needle = come out ahead when you do the amortization of the cost adopting alternative energies sooner with the supposed future savings from reducing climate change.)

    In any case, our effect on the planet doesn't matter. What matters is people and their property.

    I think that the ability of man to really affect something as large as a planet is pretty limited. Whens the last time we stopped or started a hurricane, a volcano, an earthquake.

    I saw him just before he died also. He had to stop his routine in the middle as he looked like he was going to pass out right there. We got our money back. I think it was at the Orleans casino here in LV. He spoke the truth which is a great quality so lacking today

    They are not letting the worst massacre in American history go to waste.
    For that, I'm still buying ammo (as you once suggested) one box of bullets a month.
    So far it has been only 9mm rounds. A gun dealer agreed with my (still a) theory that if Big Brother stated to confiscate bullets, 9mm pistol rounds would be the last to disappear due to there being so many.
    I had parts for an AR15 rifle modified into a carbine loaded with 9mm pistol rounds.

    He says what has been said hundreds of times before him. The genius is in the presentation.We really lost a great one when we lost him. He could make you want to rise up and protest Goldilocks if he wanted to.

    Thanks for checking.
    The logical next step for the Dems is to send anyone who disagrees with them to jail or to a concentration camp. But first they would have to disarm us, which is what they are trying to do.

    Checked several sites but saw nothing about jail.
    Dean DID say the First Amendment does not protect whatever "hate speech" is to him.
    That does kinda leave an awaiting cell door open, though.

    Wasn't it Howard Dean who said people should be jailed for hate speech. Of course he wants his party to define hate speech.

    I love Carlin. I am concerned about the environment, and his description of me and my concerns about global warming, air/water pollution, and the effects of current mass-extinction on people and their property are spot on.
    People trying to make the world save for their Volvo's. Besides, environmentalists don't care about the planet, not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. They're worried that someday in the future they might be inconvenienced. There's nothing wrong with the planet. The people are f#(%ed. The planet isn't going away. We are. Just another evolutionary dead-end.

    It will heal itself. It will cleanse itself. The air and water will recover.


    It's so true. I don't care about the planet, even if it doesn't cleanse itself and the post-Holocene world is fundamentally different from pre-Holocene. All that matters is people and their property.

    I saw him in Las Vegas at the Rio (going from memory) a few months before he passed away. He had cards to remind him of his routine, which was sad to see, but it was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a true master of comedy.

    What a classic bit, thanks for the smile. Carlin hits it out of the park.
