# You can be sure the US Administration won't allow any more off-shore oil
drilling until contingency plans are developed to cope with such
eventualities.  Forethought is better than Afterthought.
   But the Mad Ape (us) is doomed to extinction; we are clever, but not
clever enough, to survive.  We can't leave anything alone, and Action Man,
with the simple Business Brain, will, in trying to cater for the Human
Plague, ensure Doomsday cometh, and soon.
   We'll drown in our own pollution - if starvation, disease, war, plus
climate change, don't get us first.
   Only a complete revamp of attitude could save us; but that ain't likely.
