Well, yes, but I have a very clear idea of what I like, and what I like is fresh air, (not stinky with fumes - which is why I ride bicycle), nice fresh green grass, clear water (not with yellow foam in like Brighton sea sometimes) and food that tastes nice. I'm as self interested as the next person, I guess, but my self interest involves living in nature that is gorgeous and beautiful, and not in a rubbish tip. So I'm not really interested what happens in a billion years time, I'm interested in my quality of life, and that of my children and their children. (When I say my children, I don't have any - what I mean is everybody's children!

And yes, it was bigger!!
And if that air that is "stinky with fumes" just happens to come from the ambulance that is taking a man who has just had a heart attack to hospital? And if that man who survives the heart attack just happens to be the doctor who diagnoses your childs life-threatening disease?

And if"yellow foam in like Brighton sea" is the byproduct of a petrochemical plant that produces the raw materials that allow for the synthesis of an insulin substitute that keeps alive a scientist who discovers a cure for cancer?

Sure, live in"nature that is gorgeous and beautiful, and not in a rubbish tip.", but remember, not everything may be as obvious or simple as it appears.
