Message to Earthlings From Way out There.

Hi. I am not God. But I heard this in my head today and it was funny, so I thought you guys could dig this:

God: I am announcing a change in my business plan. Hitherto we have been doing business by giving away everything for free.

Until now we have given all of you clean air, clean water, and land on which to spread. It has been great for everyone. I mean, who doesn't like free?

Notwithstanding the fact that there has been plenty to go around - meaning enough for everyone, there is a limit to what we can do and keep the supply chain churning.

Being as that there are now a firm majority of capital worshipers on the face of your planet, our new plan will adopt your naked capitalism as the basis for our new business plan.

From now on you will pay through the nose for clean air.

From now on you will pay for fresh clean water.

From now on everything you do to the earth you will pay. Does that mean a carbon tax? Yeah, duh. Does that mean you pay more when you use more? Yep.

We are sorry to have to make this change, but in order for us to sustain the earth, this is the new deal. Think of it as an offer you cannot refuse. We hate to be strong arming all you naked apes, but that's the way it goes when the face of the planet has gone from all natural' to all capital'.

Just in case you are wondering what are the consequences of taking and not paying, you might consider the ideas of Global Warming, famines, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, Coronal Mass Ejection - CME, Near Earth Object - NEO, and deep space gamma ray death beams, are all about. Think of them all maybe as you think of your silly little drones. These are our ways of finding you and punishing you for stealing from us - under this new plan.

So that's it. There you have it. Try to be nice to each other. Take baths together.

Be fruitful and mulitply (that was old plan stuff). Pay the bill when due. Interest will be charged daily for overdue payments. You do not want to know how much the interest charge will be, pay the bill when delivered, if not before.

Ok, any questions?
