This is assuming that those conscious agencies would wish to pursue agriculture, and (even more optimistic assumption) that the poor beleaguered earth could still sustain it.<br /><br />However, I don't know that the meagre phosphorus and nitrogen content in our remains would make us worth recycling.<br /><br />And as to everything we have made -- the inorganic junk that is -- it can only be hoped that those conscious agencies (I'm afraid I'm outlining a very busy program for them) will be able to figure out a way to pack it all up and eject it so far out into deep space that no one will ever be bothered by it. <br /><br />I imagine those conscious agencies as being like the survivors of the craziest of all shipwrecks.<br /><br />Our best course perhaps, as lonely isolated souls, would be to find a way, before it's altogether too late, to join up with them somehow... locos por naufragar.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-72408907677182282010-08-29T15:29:21.995-07:002010-08-29T15:29:21.995-07:00They once ruled the Earth.
