| Personal background |

| As a network admin up here in St. Paul Minnesota, I and my colleagues find plenty of time to think and talk. Unfortunately; as the state of the world would have it, this ends up being mostly philosophical, relating more to world politics and less to astronomy. But these two seemingly separate domains may not be as far apart as many have concluded. I find myself constantly looking into the sky and seeing one universe probably occupied by many inhabitants and wondering about the ridiculousness of one human family, on one planet not being able to take care of its members. Perhaps evolution must continue to take place for another few thousand years so that we can learn that looking out for ones self will not automatically continue a race of beings; Perhaps we wont learn the lesson at all; Perhaps to quote Chomsky - "Humans may well be a non-viable organism". Looking out for ones self in an era of advanced technology on a world, will certainly doom a species. Never in the course of history has one person been so great and so selfish that, that person made great strides for humanity, so to assist in the development of consciousness for our existence. Throughout human history, anyone who was anyone was worried about only one thing, their fellow human, of today and tomorrow. |
