Y'know, I'm tired of hearing about sheet like this.  Kinda like we should 
all be good little boys & girls by staying in one place and keeping our 
heartbeat low so as not to increase our metabolism level and deplete the 
earth of O2.

If the human race went the way of dinosaurs, then the earth would be 
what?  Pristine and unencumbered with landfills?  So this is a goal we 
should strive for?

I was reading how in Afghanistan, outhouses are considered upscale in some 
places; many just go in the streets.  So better to revert to that level and 
get rid of corporate jets and ski lifts?

Or maybe it'd be better to seek gratification in your own lifestyle and 
admit the infeasibility of trying to control and influence others...
