Western civilization has made a pact with the Devil. I think the story of Faust has to do with Western civilization. You might say white civilization. The Devil or God said, "I'll give you knowledge to do great things. But you're going to use that knowledge to destroy the environment and to destroy yourself." You mentioned Darwin. I think what we're experiencing now is the natural state of evolution. Half the society is underprivileged and maybe a third of the rest is barely surviving. - Joseph Heller

It's weird how surviving cancer, thanks entirely to modern medicine, put this in perspective for me.

I've been meaning to mention: everyone should get a colonoscopy now.

You can wait 'til 50, but why not get a head start on things. If there's no problem you're good for five years...if there is a problem, you'll be glad you did it now instead of three years from now.
