You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage.

Whoops. Didn't know about that little error. Thanks. 
[now that I think about it, I did know that, but just didn't know about it right then]
Yeah, that is really creepy.
Another weird thing to think about is that in infinite universes where the laws of physics are completely different.
And that there are infinite universes where the only difference is that earth exists in a different a time period. If we could somehow find these universes and travel to them, we could essentially travel forward and backwards in time. There are also theories, though, that if something is changed in one universe, it has the potential to affect infinite universes [including ours]. So, the time travel paradoxes still apply. On that note, a good book is Michael Crichton's "Timeline". Very good book working on these theories.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
