- Quote: "The fifth revolution will come when we have spent the stores of coal and oil that have been accumulating in the earth during hundreds of millions of years. . . . It is to be hoped that before then other sources of energy will have been developed. . . . Whether a convenient substitute for the present fuels is found or not, there can be no doubt that there will have to be a great change in ways of life. This change may justly be called a revolution, but it differs from all the preceding ones in that there is no likelihood of its leading to increases of population, but even perhaps to the reverse." -- Charles Galton Darwin.
- Member of the day was Maxrot, who won a copy of "Unequal Protection: How Corporations Became "People" - And How You Can Fight Back" for posting "I disagree with Amir, the human race isn't the superior race on this planet. I know better, I have cats at home that I serve, quite obviously they are the Superior Race on the planet. ;-)" on the message board.
