We need a number of solutions - we need more efficiency and conservation. Efficiency is a big one. I think car companies need to do a lot better in producing more efficient cars. They have the technology, we just need to demand them as consumers.

Mental birth
Thought is broken into many levels and grades.
All men begin on, or near, the same point.
The only difference is the efficiency and where it stems from.
The 'smart, ' are efficient in multiple worldly ways.
The 'dumb' are efficient in ways the 'smart' cannot fathom.
'Average' is the point where efficiency is dependent upon immediate worldly needs.
'Retarded' people are those that grasp and maintain an efficiency held within,
One that man cannot explain because man is on a different, rudimentary plain.

An Age Of Empires Petty
we still live in an age of empires petty
global domination by military supremacy
threat of nuclear strike by created enemy
only the efficiency and ability
to kill vast numbers instantly
from vast distances away safety
continents away has changed weapon strategy
all praise great industry profit war technology
computer check mate annihilation stupidity
