Sign in to disble this ad
...owe to inhabitants of the planet in the distant future?
And, if you think any obligation is owed, how do we determine that standard for what that obligation is?

There are lots of things to think about, and the more documentaries I watch the more afraid I get. The ocean is rising, the ozone is depleting, there are too many people, oil is running out, man I need to change my pants now! 
I think the best any of us can do is to try to be good people. No matter how bad the world may become as long as people remain civil I think things will be allright. |

It was around 200 years ago, and given that the world still exists in another 200, it's going to be around then as well. The only way mankind could stop all it's trifling and bickering is if we all turned into mindless vegetables.

From there it's easy as pie.
