    They're a funny bunch. I got permabanned from Rapture Ready years ago. There were a number of people who claimed to have spent their kids' college funds on survival packs for the Left Behind. It was real Pooper-gone-religious territory,

    Turns out the earth was never intended to be permanent, it's a disposal object put here for us to use and dispose of as we see fit.

    Hehe! well I did contemplate "The Great Escaping" it, by packing small bags tied to my legs and pulling a string to release it in some public space and shuffling it into the ground while casually whistling.

    But unfortunatey it isn't just dirt, and that technique doesn't work so well with broken tiles and bits of rusty metal etc.

    So I have split my 12 bags of harcore into well over a hundred supermarket carrier bags, each fairly light, and I smuggle three bags out per bin each fortnight with the domestic rubbish.

    But I imagine their consumption is dwarfed by the collective consumption of the hordes of poor people in places such as India and Nigeria (among others).
