The majority of companies on this planet are publicly driven engines. They're always the last ones to change. They're not only the biggest polluters, but they're the biggest providers of services for the consumer. Government itself is one of the biggest polluters on the planet. The U. S. military pollutes the planet more than most other entities.

Civilization, like intelligence, may serve well, serve adequately, or fail to serve its adaptive function. When civilization fails to serve, it must disintegrate unless it is acted upon by unifying internal or external forces.

I've never been one of those to kind of like, 'I want somebody to do something against their nature to titillate me. ' That never holds any interest. And I always want people to be who they are and if they're being not who they are I feel like it's false and, therefore, less easy to connect to. I don't need them to kiss or to display physical intimacy. I think that almost becomes too obvious. I love playing in the suggestive.
