Will we make Utopia or Oblivion on our spaceship Earth?
Think
of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable
to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all
to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human
on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have
known before-that we now have the option for all humanity
to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime.
Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go
relay race right up to the final moment.
-- Buckminster Fuller 198
