Joe,
Thinking like the Earth, I tend to agree with you. Humans are incredibly destructive. We are a species run amuck with little to be said for us in terms of living up to our ideals. I'd like to think there is hope for us and on some level I do, but not before there's a big population crash. Heck of a way to start the day - thinking about such things.

Just imagine a virgin continent with billions of giant/ancient trees, vast numbers of wildlife, clean air and clean water and humans living in harmony with it- to me, that's the highest point of human evolution- since then it's been all downhill.
