There are people whose view of the universe is structured by profit
not human destiny. They have always been,they will always be. They shouldn't be running things,however.

1. Their view depends on being able to steal from planet Earth to
obtain their profit.

4. It's difficult to give back more than you take. One human requires
a lot of fuel and other material to maintain one human for 70 or so years. However, we could at least be as conservative as possible. It helps if individuals understand their relationship to the rest of the system.

3. right
When i see a nice forest, i see it for what it is made up of. Some people will always see if for its development potential. I suppose when you have tons of money, you always want more. I always thought i was wierd because money holds no interest for me, as long as i can pay my bills and have a few bucks left over.
