I remember finding this link in college and it freaked me out. It's about male pregnancy. Very effective website!!! It makes you seriously consider that this may be a real site.
So the country had decided to go for the religious right -the side that is actively working to bring about the apocalypse. What is scary though, is that I honestly think that many Bush supporters KNOW this about Bush... and that they too want to bring the apocalypse. The majority of Americans want the WORLD TO END! Why? To bring JESUS down to earth for the LAST JUDGEMENT. I am tempted to say, "God help us". But I think uh, we need somebody to help us FROM God!!
Ahhhhhh!!!
OOh, imagine going to Europe in a zepplin! Why don't we develope floating cities that use the air currents of the updrafts as a power source! Maybe "Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow" was not just a bad movie, but a true prophecy of the future!
Interesting discussion going on here. I'm glad I posted it. This issue, regardless of your stance on it, is perhaps of most dire importance. Clearly, the future of the oil supply, and really, of where our energy comes from, will profoundly affect everything we value today in modern society (from transportation, computers, light production, heating, ipods, to coffee and hamburgers).
I personally feel that even IF the oil supply were to last another million years, it is imperative that we transition to more benign sources of energy. Sources that do not cause geopolitical instability, do not destroy the environment, and do not cause international and intranational socio-economic divides. Fusion power really is the answer to it all... and should be as aggressively pursued as possible.
There are a few other fusion power schemes besides the ones that Cal-Tech are working on, and they should all be given careful and detailed consideration by private industry as well as the government.
