He can, if he wishes, manipulate and control parts of the Universe, but he is not God. His offspring are not the saviors of humankind, nor is Wrench Boy himself. It's not that he can't help you, hesimply doesn't feel obliged to. |

Wrench Boy grows weary. Immortality has its drawbacks. It makes one cynical, hard. The mortal whining, "Wrench Boy, save us..." "Have mercy upon us..." becomes tedious after a few millennia. But then there
are the perks: The time travel benefits are also worth the hassle of never dying, particularly if you are a deity that happens to be a history buff. Sometimes it's fun to pick an era and just hang out for a few decades, incognito. When the social cycle starts to swing an unpleasant direction, simply jump back to the beginning of that era or find another one to visit for awhile. There's no better way to learn history than to live in it. You'd pick up Latin fairly quickly if you spent a few years in ancient Rome. |

Wrench Boy remembers everything
that has happened to his numerous personal incarnations. He also
recalls everything that has happened to everyone else who has
existed.
He sees the people of this present making the same mistakes that
their ancestors made in the past. Anthropologists believe the
number one reason people of the past abandoned entire cities (leaving
present day people with "ruins" to study and ponder)
is soil erosion. It is a pattern that still exists today: Cut
down the trees, plant a farm. After several decades the soil,
which had previously been enriched by the seasonal cycle of fallen
and decaying leaves, loses all of its nutrients due to the lack
of trees and runoff from the weather.
Dead soil means dead culture. Historically speaking, cultures
that create sustainable farming systems (like planting farms in
forests) live longer . All others must become nomadic to survive.
In the past nomads had room to roam, but today?
21st Century earth will either have to clean up it's soil by planting
billions of trees or find another planet that doesn't mind being
raped by "progress".
Which sounds more likely to
you?

Mr. Boy delivers the good with the bad, but refuses to deliver junk mail in the form of catalogs and brochures. Wrench Boy does not use Direct Mail Marketing methods, nor does he accept any major credit cards. He is not accepting applications for some dreamy-eyed, off-planet salvation. There is no space ark. There is no judgment day. Save the planet your on, yourself. Oh yeah.... Don't send money. |
