And that's assuming we never get any from other planets, use fusion, etc. There's plenty of energy and matter in the universe. The shortages are brainpower and the freedom to use it. (Oh, and tact, there's a shortage of tact: that's why I never use any, in order to conserve our finite supply for future generations, who will of course live exactly as we do, use the same technologies, etc.) --part1_68.3219b529.2c2f4972_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22098
