Houston is one large big city! Too big, and too large. It's almost less of an urban sprawl and just a freeway sprawl. Gross. The human parasite desperately needs to come to terms with what it's doing. Or we need to launch into space, the new frontier. That's why James is going to design space suits. That's why we were in Houston yesterday. Actually, I think he just enjoys engineering. Schphshshf.

But seriously, overpopulation. This is the only real problem people....people. Not global warming, not taking America the next step to communism, not the endangerment of our cherished values. Our cherished values are going to change with the inexorable shift of the prevailing zeitgeist and that is more out of our hands than we are able to realize or admit. We can educate the world about sex, we can distribute birth control, we can save valuable resources, we can raise the average quality of life not only of today's world citizens, but more importantly, of tomorrow's. This is an is that is also an ought. This is a permanent issue, always has been, always will be. Let's focus on it rather than on transient issues that will be forgotten tomorrow and distract from the real future.
