Darth Drabek Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The real question is who's going to headline these concerts? I'd say you can put U2 down in pen, and Springsteen might show up too (hopefully with the E Street Band). Tom Petty, for sure. John Mellencamp will probably offer to play, but hopefully they'll turn him down. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Humans have too short a lifespan to act on threats that follow a geological timeline. Even 'doom in 300 years' is too long to really concern us, we would rather pretend the problem doesen't exist, and have been doing a pretty good job of it, and there is a more valid question of whether trying to solve poverty and overpopulation is not a more worthwhile use of the resources spent on cutting carbon gass emissions, especially since even under the best case scenario we are only able to postpone the problem. Bold emphasis mine. There's defintely more than one way to address the problems. I've been grumbling about overpopulation etc. for years. Overpopulation/poverty, after all, stresses resources etc. ever more. I'm guessing that it's easier to target technology (restrictions), from a worldwide political standpoint, than overpopulation; thus they try to start with the things that may have the least resistance from both the general public and political opponents. Given human nature (so far), it might even be more sensible to focus on space and colonization rather than reductions, if that makes sense. Not that I think that'll actually happen anytime "soon." “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The problem with tackloing overpopulation is that YOUR overpopulation is MY strength. Particularly where democracy is concerned.
