    T. S. Elliot says. ' The world will end not by a bang but by a whimper.' However , why this passimistic and morbid approach to world , humanity and civilisation ? Let us not see the half empty bottle but the half - full one. After all what can you and I do about this world ? A very wise eastern says :

    "An old pull of subconscious cords renews;

    It draws the unwilling spirit from the heights,

    Or a dull gravitation drags us down

    To the blind driven inertia of our base.

    This too the supreme Diplomat can use,

    He makes our fall a means for greater rise. "

    Depends what you would call crumbling at our feet, if you mean the downfall of intelligent society it was a few decades ago, if you mean the fall of modern technology 2016 when the aliens attack, if you mean the end of all life 2018 on Z Day.

    I'd say we've started the process already. It's only a matter of time before Eastern vs. Western political tension explodes-- quite literally.

    Fitting. Earth can't really support the growing population and we haven't got a solution for that or the natural resources that are quickly depleting.

    First Tuesday of November.

    As soon as I pull my finger out of the dike.

    President Paris Hilton.

    If we're really lucky, not in Keith Richards' lifetime. Or when the Sun becomes a Red Dwarf. Same thing.

    I don't think the ego's really kicked in yet. It's an underdeveloped aspect of humanity. I think that too much emphasis is placed in society on the superego and the control of id.

    If anything, the superego will destroy us because we care too much about the vlaues of society and not wenough about ourselves and our values.

    As long as we fly we are free... If we are free we are alive ... And if we are alive we have to live ... So live your life as a free man and if you will fall then you will fly again.
