<\/span><\/a>The one thing we\u2019ve learned with all the pollution, global warming, deforestation, and cancer causing carcinogens we have ingested over the years since the scientific and industrial revolutions: don\u2019t mess with nature. Unless, of course, <\/span>it\u2019s human nature<\/span><\/a>. Then that\u2019s OK. Because this time science and technology will get it right, solve all our problems and nothing \u2013 not one gosh darn thing \u2013 is possibly going to go wrong. If we weren\u2019t so overly hysterical at all the ways our science* and technology are destroying the planet, this wouldn\u2019t be half as funny.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n
*Fun note: You ever notice that science is never, ever blamed for things like all the carbon emissions that are causing man made global warming and other disasters? We all know it\u2019s from things like science and invention and technology, but we just don\u2019t say<\/em> it. Humanity, doing what we\u2019ve always done for thousands of years: not learning. <\/span><\/div>\n

By the way, the article does not point out just how they are becoming Dads (hint: it\u2019s not the natural way, or as gay rights say, not the way we\u2019ve been indoctrinated into thinking is natural). But the article that did have the celebratory story had pics that didn\u2019t need to be linked by this blog, which is all too common in most popular media today. Sigh. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Save the Planet, Make the people<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The one thing we've
