Something special yes... But untill we are in a super space ship mothership, united, in democracy, with renewable and reusable resource systems... Then I don't want to be human..
I've come to accept things I dream of will most likely not happen, and almost definitely not within my lifespan, so what's the point in trying it when it's not ready?
I still try to be as green as sensibly possible, while recognizing the problem and the outcome.
It could be very well compared to life itself.
You know you will die. You know it's basically impossible for you to make yourself immortal. You know that you can do things to make your life better /last longer.
Theres no point killing yourself over it, and there is no point constantly going on about it. All you can do is make it better /last longer and hold onto that slim hope that in the future they will succeed.
