..but with us killing the environment upon which we all depend, and the ability of the 'crazy power mongers' who are taking over places of power in the world...and the ability of us to wipe out the earth in one fell swoop (nuclear weapons) I fear my pendulum might end up in the stratosphere?

I often think of Einstein's quote: “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

That is if any humans even survive!
