Preparedness for when

If it is mankind's destiny, to become extinct, in the same way previous species (eg. the dinosaurs) did, should we really be trying to prevent it?

We have developed enough to have the know how of how to use every item possible to make our lives the best we can. Surely, if we use the same logic, it doesn't make sense to allow that intellect and ability to ignore an issue that could mark the end of mankind.

Yes we should.

How could anyone just sit back and let the end of days happen for humanity? Life is the most precious thing we are ever gifted certainly worth more than giving up, giving in and saying OK lets all just watch as our species is extinguished. I think the drive to survive is stronger in all of us than anyone realises until they are in a situation where surviving might not be a given, I would do my utmost to live and if I had to adjust my lifestyle to enable that to happen, I most certainly would and consider it a very very small price to pay!

Evening all,

We were talking about wool socks the other day.. And I think after today I def need a pair or two..lol.. Been in my wellies most of the day in mud etc .. Been putting off jobs, waiting for the rain to ease, but had to bit the bullet and just get on with it... But my feet went really cold, and my toes are still cold lol...

So if anyone got any links to good wool boot socks.. Please help me out.. I think it's the same with my wellies its worth paying a bit extra ..

I know not everyone subscribes to the theory of evolution, but they are nicely exemplifying what we need to do about the bigger issues we've been discussing - adapt or die

Between them it reduces the distance I need to stretch. Though sometimes all you need to do is pull it down and catch.
