                The environment is a tough subject.  I feel like a lot of people take it way too far.

                And I mean over the river and through the woods to infinity and beyond too far.

                For example, there’s the group of radical environmentalists who signed a petition to lower the temperature of the sun.

                That kind of leaves your head tilted with a funny look on your face making a “wuhhhhh?” kind of sound emanating from your mouth.

                Me?  I recycle, but not because I especially worry about the environment.  I’d just rather not run out of resources.  I’m a massive fan of alternative energy (if you didn’t get the pun there I’m ashamed of you) because it will leave the unrenewable stuff for when we need it.

                Call me crazy, but I’m one of those guys who supports entering the age of Star Trek.  I think it’s about time we started mining resources on nearby planets and exploring the worlds around us.  Some scientists are saying we could be mining the moon in under 20 years.  In case you haven’t noticed, I’m extremely pro-America, but I’m also pro-human race.  I hope to someday see us figure out how to warp across the galaxy.  In my time that’s far-fetched and I find that disappointing, but I don’t plan on dying anyways. 

                As long as we humans aren’t replacing ourselves with robots or ending up like the people in WALL-E (along with a few other aspects), I don’t think that the human race can push too far.  As long as we don’t forget who we are, where we’ve come from, and all that hard work it has taken us to get there, I think humans can go a long way.
