Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.

More New Age Doublespeak
The so-called "memes" that are belched forth, as it were, almost daily from the media sewers are quite telling. These sycophants have a slavish way of anticipating what will make their masters wag their tails in paroxysms of delight. Of late, you may have noticed the term "EU debt inspectors" being bandied about. How technocratic! Pray tell: what is the difference between a knuckle dragging mafia capo and these debt inspectors? Maybe a degree or two and a Brooks Brothers suit, as far as I can tell.
