Which do you think will happen first?
I just thought that some open discussion about it could be a little bit of help.
I am sometimes amazed that we haven't totally destroyed th world already. I think sefl preservation has saved us on more than once occasion.
I'd say though that is could go either way. I'd like to think it will be "full disclosure", but one shoudl never underestimate the capacity for human stupidity.
The world "planet Earth" won't be destroyed. It will get along just fine after the USA and humanity are gone.
