Reply #87: Do me a favor and Google "nanotechnology" and find out what it does

[melody]

Neo-Luddite heads may explode, but the fact of the matter is technology is nothing more than human technology focused in the abstract. Nanotech has the potential to create anything out of nothing -- including fully functional crude oil equivalents. It WILL dig us out of this hole if we put some money behind it.

I find this a far better course of action than merely pouting in a corner because people won't change human nature the way I want them to or resigning myself to a common doom.
