What's the deal?......either run the thing or dont, sheesh.
If you're just gonna run a rig for browsing you may as well turn the rig off and use a cellphone.  |

So where should we start in reducing the population? Euthanasia? That does look a bit racist. What about youth in Europe or America or the rest of the world ? It means killing people off when they are no longer productive members of society, it has nothing to do with race. Mercy Killing so to speak. It could be very abritrary... anyone who has an IQ less than XX, anyone older than XX, anyone who has a certain disease or defect, etc. I don't think it's a good idea, but if we MUST reduce the world's population, how do you want to start? Controlling the birth rate in many countries is a problem. In the West, not so much, the birth rate has been dropping for a long time.     |

You knew me as 'electrictroy' at the grid.org forum. So how much impact does running the Grid Agent have on the environment (and our health)? Somebody at the other forum sat down & did the calculations, and revealed it's equivalent in CO2 and other polluants to driving the average car 10,000 miles (per year). Is it worth it? Is it worthwhile to expend that much energy/pollution for the results obtained? I'll answer you in a slightly different way. You asked is it worth it? Lets assume that the work we do today pays off in real knowledge in 5 years and that knowledge is put to use in treatments that take another 5 years to perfect..That's 10 years from now. 15 years from now your son or daughter is told that he/she has X disease but because of the work we did today and tomorrow and next year there is a cure. Now sit back and ask your question again and I think you'll agree. It's worth whatever the price is. I'm 55, have 2 daughters, aged 18 and 31. I do this for them, for their kids to come and for yours. By the time the work we do today is done,evaluated,tested and usable I probably won't be around but I'll go with a smile knowing that I did what I could to help all of our kids. Go to a cancer hospital just one time and see the kids faces filled with hope and you know that in many cases that hope isn't there for them. If I sound like an old softy, I assure you I'm not. I grew up in the "tough" part of a big city and after seeing a lot of life I'm convinced that this is what we should be doing. Making a better world for the next generation. |
