    If there are, then they probably aren't in this particular discussion group.

    Sure, our resources are plenty enough - if you expect the worlds' poor to
live with what they have forever, and if you don't expect the population to
increase.  Sorry, we can't live in stasis.

    You want to die on Earth, fine.  Do you want all of Humanity to share the
same fate?  I don't, and the *only* way to prevent it from happening is to expand
into space - to use the resources we find, and to spread ourselves all over the
Universe.
