Has anybody else seen a photo of our solar system, or galaxy - something like that - with an arrow pointing to where we are.

Our planet is vanishingly small.

Do you think looking at a photo like that, meditating on it, and any consequences worth us all doing?

Might we get our problems in any kind of proportion?


Alternatively, perhaps alaws should be passed banning self-confessed fundamentalkists (hm?) from viewing any material that they might be offenfded by.

Aha, so BLISS could be achieved by the standard means. By glorious IGNORANCE.

I mean, why sell stuff to people who are going to choose to be offended. The refusal would be for the best of reasons, so people don't get distressed.

Couldn't it be compulsory on things like passports for "fundamentalist"to be added to the data.

Or we could deal with two probs together by getting out of oil fast, thus responding to the fundamentalist problem and the future of that big, chunky lump of rock that seems important to us, what's it called, ohhhh, that thing that's like a spouse, can't live with it, can't live ...............

Auto.
