The beetles --- and the mass extinctions planned for WWII

All I really know about God is that He must have an inordinate fondness for beetles - all 350,000 species of them.

As it happens, so do I.

And I like to think that scientist Henry Dawson also did too.

If so , then he was very much alone.

Allied War Aims : just for show ?

My book ("Dawson's Plenty") is partially about a very bitter- if quiet - battle between the wartime allies 0f America and Britain and also within each of them.

 Were the highly publicized Allied "war aims" actually sincere - or just for show ?

 For a fleeting moment , the Allies moved into the light with a Pax Penicillia, before lapsing back to a Pax Urania with the same set of values that caused WWII in the first place.

The Sixth Extinction : Jews, Romas, Slavs ,Gays, Handicapped not extinct , but just barely

We live - for how much longer we will live I do not know - in both a modern plenticidal age and a postmodern neo-plenitude age.

We humans are trying hard as we can to kill off all other lifeforms, killing the golden goose, so we can have this earthly golden egg all to ourselves.

So we are plenticidal : killing off Nature's plenitude, thinking that draining her gene pool is a good thing , just as we used to think draining wetlands was a good thing too.
