Si-Fi has been full of that, dude. If Earth doesn't have humans on it, then these "progressives" think it's not worth anything any more. Period. They're every bit as bad as the right-wing "nothing matters but humans" crowd on that one.

Hell, I have a book of essays by Isaac Asimov ("View from a Height") where he discusses how it'd be much more efficient to build inside large asteroids, instead of on the surface of things. You'd be able to get more livable square footage inside than outside (not to mention it'd be safer, and easier to regulate the atmosphere.) Fine. Until he starts discussing how trillions of humans crawling around inside of rock-chunks someday decide they don't need the planets any more, and blow up Earth so they can fit a few trillion more naked apes into the asteroids that result.

Absolutely NO word on the right of all the other species that still must call Earth home to keep what is THEIR planet, too.

Progs don't care about the environment. They only care about fuckables.

(At least, I think that's the title. It's not the only one I have, and I've read more at the library in the past, but damn, that bit really stuck.)
