are just a tic in time for this planet. The planet itself will continue
with or without humans. Unless we humans turn the Earth into another
asteroid belt.

It seems you've fallen in with the "Rapture" crowd. It seems odd that
the biosphere is given such short shrift, since it has been part of the
planet for the last 4.5 billion years. So losing it or a significant
portion of it can be construed as damage, especially when you consider
that there may only be a billion years left to recover before solar
heating does us in (the "editorial" us). Shame to lose it really, when
you consider that the ol' girl (Earth) could still be beautiful and put
off the inevitable for awhile longer, except for those
"who-ever-has-the-most-toys-when-s/he-dies-wins" idiots. We owe this
twisted vision to John Calvin. It is to be the reward of the "select".
But what can you do in a country where more people believe in the
"Virgin Birth" than evolution?

of the lunatics, when they think they see a profit, people get trampled.
