Simple question..

Raven · 07-29-2005, 04:57 AM

Do people REALLY think that mankind alone has the power or ability to cure the world's ills?

Accountable · 07-29-2005, 05:14 AM

Hey, we made 'em, didn't we?

There is little beyond the imagination of man, except possibly mass mutual trust.

Like the tower of babel, I think man has made the problems too big to fix.

Accountable · 07-29-2005, 05:23 AM

I'm not sure the mind of man was made for truly global thinking. Too easy to get overwhelmed. It's too early in the morning here in the US to be depressed about the future. Flowers that died last year are blooming.

LOL! There's a good philosophy in that somewhere!

no...

to complicated, and we don't have all the pieces to fix it. I can't see into the heart of even my closest friend (my wife) to know for 100% certain that what shes telling me with spoken word and body language is really whats bothering her. I can make my best guess based on many years of being with her, but im still surprised sometimes.

if I can't completely know my wife, how am I gonna fix the problem of a person half way around the world in another language and culture? and thats assuming they want something fixed.

What ills, Raven? List a couple. I think some might be cured.

I think the answer is we better start or "Mother Earth" will tell us otherwise. It seems to be starting to do so now.

Some scientists give us 20 years to make a more then half hearted start otherwise it will be too late.

Now that Shrubby has finally admitted that the problem is of human causation maybe, just maybe something with start. Though he is more worried about his blessed economy then he is the future of mankind. All the money in the world won't help him out if the world can no longer support human life.

Shalom

Cured? hmmmm- ...I believe - its the goverments way of "cleaning house" Never cure the sick, do not give out the cure- becuase the world would be over populated....I know there is not one person who agrees with this - as I have argued it before......This is JMO and I think I am RIGHT!

Why would the goverment want to give up thousands of opportunities to make more money from drug companies-on meds that don't quite cure you- but make you better ,just so you can start to feel like normal and get sick again...Yeah yeah MOM quit feeling sorry for yourself...I have heard it before.........like I said---JMO
