Best Wishes to My Mother "Alyse Sue" from those who couldn't come to her 80th birthday from the electonic card invitation site.

Sue, you're just getting started I suspect, now that you're warmed up. Wish I could be there, you have so many friends and admirers that it can't help but be a heckuva bash! Will

DAMN! I'm really bummed about this, but I'll be in the greater Seattle area that weekend, and a long planned and sorely needed vacation... I wish it weren't so! I'll wait to convey my best wishes until after the party, so as to not blow the big surprise! Hope you all have a great time, and really sorry to miss it!!

Human Culture - escaping mother nature's restrictions

The economic assumption of a continuously growing population is the basis for all government planning, and stockholder expectation, when it comes to business.

Life is a chemical process, whereby each species attempts to fill an "energy niche" in the ecosystem in which it finds itself.

Humans have used technology (for at least the last 100,000 years!) to thwart the natural boundaries our ancestors faced.

Technological innovation is simply the natural outcome for our species, as it allows human life to exist in more and varied ecological energy niches.

We use technology to overcome nature, which of course is the cause of the overpopulation and destruction of our environment.

Our CULTURE, which is technology plus behaviors plus language etc., is the real culprit, that removed Humans from natural governors on our compulsions.

From tops of mountains
shore to shore, desert, forest
Technology wins
