We are probably all on the Magickal Milk Train to Disaster for the simple 
reason that every minute there is a new greedy, grasping, rapacious, 
self-serving, immoral, dog-bone stupid fool born...and since a constant 
percentage of them will be dumber than a box of rocks, you won't be able 
to educate, cajol, punish, or incarcerate them fast enough to prevent 
them from causing entropy from having its way...especially if they become 
"Captains of Industry".

The only probable eco-solution?  Maybe at some point AIDS will mutate so 
it can be carried by mosquitos...whatever the outcome, the choice will 
likely not be ours...
