can imagine having to do a portrait of God. How on earth would you ever keep from blowing out the highlights....?

Ohh.........That could be really bad if you didn't satisfy that customer. Especailly if God turned out to be an Angry Woman having a bad hair day.

That's the one thing that is even more scarry than Mistress Terri with her favorite whip.


psssst.....bribrius, I'm thinkng that it would probably be "how in Heaven's name would you ever keep from blowing out the highlights. She's probably to busy to come to your studio for a sitting.

Besides, she might give you a one day pass to get the picture done. Kind of like going to Disney World. Just don't shop at the gift shop. To damn expensive.

science has its benefits as well. Shows us how stupid we were yesterday and how smart we are today.

I would have to disagree with that statement. Based on the History of Humanity, Science shows us how stupid we were yesterday and how we have gained an understaing of that. I say that because Science in the future will surely show how stupid we were when today becomes yesterday. I'm not sure we are all that smart today, just not as stupid.

I'm not convinced that we, as a people, are "smarter" now than we were thousands of years ago. We have higher technology sure, but we have only "discovered" in the last few centuries things that our ancestors "knew" 5 thousand plus years ago. This is especially true concerning mathematics and cosmology.

There are plenty of things we have a much better understanding of now, but I think at some point in our history, humanity suffered a major regression and we have been playing catch up ever since

I could make a suggestion as to what that "major regression" was, but some people might at the least disagree and could even be offended at such a suggestion.

8 Ways Technology Makes You Stupid

I especailly like #5.

A couple more generations and "the old days" will be yesterday to them.

there is that distinct possibility that we we aren't progressing at all but regressing. The thought has occurred to me.

if you take technology out of the equation (you know the plastic gizmos with chips), i am not sure we really have become more evolved.

A giant cataclysmic event could solve the problem. thanks heavens we invented nuclear warheads to help the cause (you know, because we are smart and stuff). So just in case nature doesn't take care of it, we always got that big red button...

i used to watch that series "life without people". It looked quite peaceful.

Well skinning game is easier using a sharp steel knife rather than a stone knife. Come to think of it though, I do prefer my cermaic knife for cutting vegtables and fruits up. Stays sharp for ever. Just don't drop the thing on a hard surface or it scatters all over in little pieces.

It seems the more advanced we (maybe ) become. The more depressed the human race becomes. Or it could just be the world has a addiction to anti-depressants i can't tell which.
The happiest people always seem to be the dumbest ones though.
