   That's the problem with a lot of people; life only exists from the time   
   they are born until now.  And his response was nothing more than to   
   disregard the point I was making.   
      
   I often imagine a classroom of children in about 100 years from now.   
   The teacher will explain to the class that in the late 1900's to early   
   2000's, people actually thought they could change the climate, and the   
   class will burst out into laughter as we did at that age when our   
   teacher told us people of yore thought the earth was flat.
