Fact: 99% of all the species that have existed no long do. There have been four mass extinctions where a majority of the existing species go extinct, and there have been many more minor ones.
For a dominant species to go extinct, that would be necessitated by the earth changing its condition in some way that cuts off something vital to the survival of that species. For humans, that would be our oxygen supply.
That there has been four mass extinctions tells me there will be a fifth. That would be ours.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
