 Do we think you might get a better response if Josh came in for a meeting with the gang? Of is it lukewarm enough that they wouldn't want even that?     
 Hi Lou,  We had our weekly meeting and the response seemed more positive... one of the editors has seen this kind of thing on a BBC site and liked it. Basically the gist of the response is they are interested as long as it doesn't create much work for anyone on our end (as everyone's pretty swamped). Would you guys be creating the quiz content or would that be something we'd have to do?  Cheers, Mike

What would your conclusions be?

Perhaps you might conclude:

if you are evil then launch nuclear strikes against every population
centre with greater than 5 million people

if you are pragmatic, selfish and love power then you might get a degree
and join the army as an officer

if you are pragmatic, selfish and love money then you might invest in
water, railroads, soybeans and weapons

if you are a secular humanist you might get a degree as a doctor

if you are pragmatic and compassionate god might reveal his plan for his
people to you

if you are pragmatic and honest you might become a green politician that
doesn't get elected

if you are curious and academic you might study and publish books about
civilisation collapse

if you are pragmatic and nihilistic you might accept that evolution has brought us here and only evolution can save us

if you are me you might post blogs and accept that evolution has bred bullies for fame, power and greed only too well

if you are compassionate and a programmer you might make a dashboard for the world health index allowing people to get daily updates on the planet

if you are a multi naitonal publicly traded company you might be changing the world but no memory of having done it

if you are in love you might love all the more fiercely and passionately knowing so little time is left.

freedom - review of the last hours of ancient sunshine

here's my review of the last hours of ancient sunshine

"freedom"

ban the oil sands
ban the internal combustion engine
ban the garbage that can't be eaten
ban over population - the environmental footprint
ban tv
ban corporations

invest in power generation
invent in food production

rumplestiltskin
no forgiveness on earth
eating the ancient sunlight
a tragedy a horror the ending already known
the blood of innocents
the cruel king
the devil's bargain
the prison owner's profit
the parents selling children to save the,
the surrender now and die later or die now

war against scarcity - driven out - we fight back
we can't move - there is no where to go
we have to fight
climate change always brings battles

but in the end we die
the bugs that have been waiting
for 200,000 years
get to eat us

the source of evil

the god
of war
is hungry
for slaves
to enslave the world
by destroying and taking their power
confronting the free with a choice
to die or be enslaved
fight him and meet him with violence is to be enslaved
submit to him is to be enslaved

who have meet the devil and survived un-en-slaved and do not seek to enslave others?

the amish?
