So, why should we bother? I've long come to the conclusion that if
any of this mess is funded it will come from one or two peoples
efforts and their private funds, with no need to see a return on the
investment.
Sad to say, most people, even those heavy into these subjects, won't
even sign on to a monthly donation for experiments. Perhaps its a
trust issue or the need to have a non-profit foundation, but even
these non-profits don't receive sufficient funding to do anything
useful. Look at the ITS (International Tesla Society) which folded
despite being non-profit.
Time to make something happen or just give it up and plod on along
with the masses. Not just yet.....
Here is an excerpt from the article;
"One of the symposiums held at last week's meeting was regarded as so
contentious that a similar conference was banned from the 1994 meeting
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, on the
grounds -- said its organizer, Dr. Warren Hern, a Colorado physician
and epidemiologist -- that "you may not ask that question."
The question, posed as the title of the symposium, was this: "Is the
Human Species a Cancer on the Planet?"
Hern, the director of an abortion clinic in Boulder, Colo., noticed
nearly a decade ago that aerial and satellite views of urban centers
taken over a period of years bore a striking similarity to images of
cancerous tissue -- particularly melanoma -- invading the healthy
surrounding tissue.
In his presentation last week, Hern argued that in many parts of the
world the increase in human numbers is rapid and uncontrolled, that it
invades and destroys habitats, and that by killing off many species it
reduces the differentiation of nature. All of these features are
characteristic of cancerous tumors, he said."
