A couple of fragments of conversation from last night.
Franklin was wrong. The only thing that's certain in life is death. Not everyone gets to pay tax. If, as they say, you see your life flash before you as you die then shouldn't it be the best movie you've ever seen. Something you'd want to sit through one last time. Ups and downs, thrills and spills, love and laughter, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll. Wouldn't it just suck if it turned out to be some terrible Ingmar Bergman movie.
In a world of shrinking inhabitable land mass and rapidly increasing population with all the necessary output to look after them, will the world one day just fill up. It would be like someone turns a corner and that'll be it. Population gridlock. Everyone will just be stuck where they are, unable to move. Neither Starfleet nor Dr Who will be able to come and save us. There'll be a big sign up in space saying "Sorry, this planet is now full, please use another planet."
