True, we are a destructive race.  But we also have the capacity to do more
good for the planet and each other than any other race.  Once our deceit for
each other becomes more dominant than our love for each other, we well see
a wholesale destruction never before seen.  Regardless of our past record,
we must maintain a strict discipline concerning the capacity to preserve
life as something precious and worth saving.  Again we can look to history
and see in the guise of Hitler and his types what happens when human life
is deemed worthless.  If his value system had been alowed to propagate to
world wide dimensions then no one, not even one person would have been safe from
being labeled expendible as just so much garbage.  I believe we are capable of
much more destruction than we are guilty of in the past, and given the right
catalyst we can become darker than the darkest night.  I also believe we
can show much more concern and much more love for each other than our past
record indicates. So far the choice is ours, but once you reach a 'Mad Max'
type of existence you have no choice because you no longer own your life just
as garbage can't own gargage.  Who could heed garbage, as anything more than
an unfeeling, unloving, worthless pit of throw-aways.
