1) the acceptance of stewardship is vital and infact mandated to some extent.

2) yes. But guilt usually comes after the fact. I think intelligence mandates protection of our planet and it's resources.

3) right now, I don't think there is another way. Not because it is not there, but because we won't allow it. Unfortunately the human race has to learn things the hard way. Some people think ahead, some don't. Some people want to change, other people agree, but they want an alternative, but there is no alternative or it's bad. In short who is in charge and by what authority?

4) Yes, I give a damn.
