    Bloated is not robust and elastic is not resilient.

    We are still running for two and only two reasons:
    One, there is currently enough energy to make the system operate.
    Two, people currently wish to continue to play the game.

    The minute that either of those two things fails to be...game over.
    The school of hard knocks does not offer a tuition assistance program.

    The time to build an Ark is when the sun is still shining.

    The problem is...we are all part of the problem.

    The Post Apocalyptic Starvation Diet will succeed where all other diets have failed.

    The lack of the ability to adjust to new and different circumstances is by very definition the inability to evolve and as with all things that fail to evolve, they are doomed to extinction.
