Thoughts About The World Without Us

I knocked History Channel’s program called Life After People in an earlier post. And though I still haven’t seen it, I take back what I said. After reading The World Without Us, I now get it and rescind my comments.

The thing I take away from the book is that there’s a group of people who believe it’s time for the human race to stop procreating so that we, collectively, may die letting Mother Earth return to a state of environmental harmony. They believe also that in doing this, humans will realize that because they’re the last generation, they’ll finally begin to be peaceful and take time to appreciate life.

They’ve obviously never seen Children of Men. That is how we’re going down. Not in a whimper.
