I was chatting to a friend the other daythat if all of a sudden, the tv, phonelines, and supermarkets all shut down, no-one would have a clue what to do...most of us wouldn't survive a week...probably all get killed by marauding bands of chavs...

me too!but I do think we need to get sorted down here as well...we spend billions on getting a space station up there, while down here millions of people are dying...lets face it though, if all 6 and a half billion of us got cars and nice houses, there wouldnt be enough room by half...either we expand, or we die, and the planet comes with us...

I make it five acres each.Quite a lot of those acres would not be very nice, mind you, due to being in antarctica. But having said that, I currently inhabit about a hundredth of an acre, and I'm sharing that with a couple of other people. Only a bit more than 1% of the planet's land surface is "urban" (according the UN, I think). So this sort of stuff is hard to figure out.
