   People forget that man is a PART of Nature, & whatever we do, in our   
   arrogance  thinking it's everyti8ng cataclysmic, Nature simply asbsorbs into   
   her paradigm.   
      
   That RI-sized island of plastic floating in the Pacific that rco-groups &    
   lobbyists are going nuts over? Natuire absorbed that long ago -- dismantling    
   it, however, will instantly kill millions of living creatures & cause untold    
   numbers to lose their home, & more quickly become prey.   
      
   George Carlin suggested, perhaps tongue-n-cheeik, perhaps as a     
   rophet(forthteller, not foreteller) that Nature evolved humans explicitly    
   because Nature waned plastic & this was the most efficient way to get it. . .   
      
   It amuses me that this does not contradict any known science, so may well be    
   true. . . No, I don't BELIEVE it,. I think. . .   
      
   Doesn't matter what I think or do -- Nature(or "God"-- I don't discriminate)    
   will out in the end, regardless of my thoughts, statements, or actions.   
      
   I'm at peace with the fact that in the universe, I'm insignicant.   
      
   Even onm Earth, I pretty much am; 1 in 8,000,000,000+ isn't a significant ratio   
   -- in mos5t any rounding system, my existance is zero.  What do I care --    
   sleep, wake, drink coffee, get paid, play online -- for me, I'm a 1 in 1 --   
   you can't get more significant than 100%   
      
   Yup, I relate everything to mathematics, as that's the language all    
   existance(the universe) was written in.   
      
   In my houeshold, I'm 1:5(20%); but our family isn't a Democracy -- it's a    
   Parentocracy, so maybe I'm more like 30%.    
      
   Doesn't matter; got coffee & I get paid.   
      
   One day my molecules will join the rest of Nature, to be absorbed as per her    
   existing & evolving paradigms ("pair o' diggums")
