    Sweet, now I get to quote one of my favorite cartoons.

    "Humankind can not obtain anything without first sacrificing something.
    In order to obtain anything something of equal value is required."

    Sure, we can turn seeds into wheat, wheat into beer, corn into oil, rocks into valuable metals. Yet there still comes a point when we must stand up to the fact that there is only so far we can stretch the limit. We've stretched it very, very far. Can we stretch it further? I honestly doubt it.

    Want some proof? Go research what extensive over-agriculture has done to the top soil in the American midwest. Unless we reverse course in our agricultural practices, we shall run the soil, at least temporarily, barren.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
