Yeah, I can see how it comes across that way. It's a vision for what I percieve would be a better world for both of us and everyone, although I'm not omnicient and think everyone's opinion is just speculation, or a best guess based on the current information.  I want everyone to be happy, safe and at peace, and still have fun and enjoy their toys.  I agree, the current world is very competetive and I was raised to be extremely competetive and the irony is that this dialogue is a bit competetive. My fears are that there are limits to the competetive relationship with phenomena and we may be reaching those limits. Time will tell.  I am also a pragmatist though and I must concede to the value of competition based on personal experience. I think we disagree on the extent to which competition is necessary and useful.
