Besides, it may be just the challenge we need to pull together as one race. <BR/><BR/>The stars await. They're out there, beckoning us onward. Where else can we go if not forward?Lori A.

It was the later ones that pulled me up and trough.<BR/><BR/>I admire Hawking for the way he carries on with life despite the hurdles he has to overcome.<BR/><BR/>I also believe that the human race will go the way of the dinosaur. Like them we have outgrown our shoes and have used our “superiority” mainly to destroy our habitat and each other. If you believe in evolution as I do, then it is unthinkable that we will not be replaced by another species. Will it happen in 100 years? I do not know! But it will happen and rather sooner than later, there is no doubt about that in my mind.Othmar Vohringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878585333406793550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-1151329574519190252006-06-26T09:46:00.000-04:002006-06-26T09:46:00.000-04:00Anne - sorry about your friend's Mom.
