towards the end of the political forum topic labeled "anyone else anti economic growth?" i asked myself a question after kojax pointed out that we can't keep stretching the resources here on earth infinitely if the population doesn't stop at 9 billion as the UN predicts.
the only way to get more resources than we have here, is to go elsewhere.
in my mind the question has to be asked: do we have the right to go throughout the rest of the universe destroying other planets as we have earth, or should humanity remain on it's own island?
