[The Urban Sombrero]

You suggested politics (lies by another name) would persist long after you and I are gone. I merely pointed out how dubious a suggestion that was as time is short.

But I understand the liberal's propensity for wrapping himself in what he imagines to be the near timeless eons of protracted human history. Things which science cannot explain, such as the problems associated with natural selection for example, sort of just dissolve away in time, like seashells do in the vast oceans. Scientists who deny the creation account love to wrap themselves up in the notion of vast geologic epochs. Sort of like their fuzzy blanket of rationalization. Time is finite and the end of it is discernible according to prophetic texts.

As Peter suggested, there are those who think things will just continue on, and on, and on. I do not. I certainly see things like the move closer to a cashless society, and IBM's "Watson," with a mindful eye at the eastern skies; however, I was mostly making a point about how human nature and politics dovetail.
