That is unlikely. I think that the earth will evict us soon enough. It is happening now.

In defense of Chi. I couldn't extend the 'ignorant' label towards him. Just a different thinker......I would, more often than not, find myself counter to Chitown and many others {as they might with me}. But my personal oppositions don't automatically suggest that one might be stupid as such. Conditioning and institutional indoctrination have a great play in how we perceive life around us. Unfortunately, so does cultural-centricity as well as what might pass as nationalism. The most well-educated individual could easily be manipulated and instilled with such characteristics, where as the everyday underclass contemporary might exceed in open and tolerant traits. Comparatives and superlatives, standards and absolutes - they tend to impede our thought process and reasoning.

Can't believe I'm trying this, but good post RS -- the truth always lies somewhere in the middle.

Wars over commodities and resources? Governments and markets will sort those issues out. Now religon, that's something people can sink their teeth into. Nothing like religon to inflame hatred and violence.
