When in the course of organic evolution it becomes obvious that a mutational
process is inevitably dissolving the physical and neurological bonds which
connect the members of one generation to the past and inevitably directing
them to assume among the species of Earth the separate and equal station to
which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them, a decent concern
for the harmony of species requires that the causes of the mutation should
be declared.
We hold these truths to be self evident:
- That all species are created different but equal;
- That they are endowed, each one, with certain inalienable rights;
- That among them are Freedom to Live, Freedom to Grow, and Freedom
to pursue Happiness in their own style;
- That to protect these God-given rights, social structures naturally
emerge, basing their authority on the principles of love of God and
respect for all forms of life;
- That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of life,
liberty, and harmony, it is the organic duty of the young members of
that species to mutate, to drop out, to initiate a new social structure,
laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its power in
such form as seems likely to produce the safety, happiness, and harmony
of all sentient beings.

Flash
July 8 2002: WWF "Living Planet Report 2002" sets current ecosystem degradation level at 65 on a 100 (1970 baseline) scale; predicts total collapse by 2050. Humans will need to find and colonize two more earth size planets by then in order to sustain free-market capitalism.
