'Still, the impending Post-Industrial Stone Age is a tragedy because it really isn't inevitable. There's no absolute reason why we couldn't live in material sufficiency on this planet for millions of years. But prudence isn't our forte. "Even our success becomes failure." And, in a way, it's not our fault. Long ago Natural Selection dealt us a bad hand—we're sexually prolific, tribal, short-term and self-centered. And after thousands of years of trying, Culture hasn't changed that. And there is no sign that She will.'

Turkish Star Trek. ROTFLMAO!

In other news, I just got an acceptance letter from the volunteer local ambulance company, so I will be starting there soon. I am looking forward to it. I am just about halfway through my EMT-B training class and while I enjoy it, the 4-hour-long classes, 2-3x/week, are rough on my schedule. Better get used to it though, as PA-hood school won't be any easier (and certain to be a lot more demanding).
