"Smartass." Lily said, rolling her eyes. "And what would be normal according to genetics?"

"Brown hair, brown eyes, curly hair, freckles, broad lips, unattached earlobes." Gabe said. "And not being bald as well."

"Well then, we're both screwed." Lily said. "You and your sand hair and me and my midnight hair. And neither one of us have freckles! Or broad lips! Gosh, we just missed the genetic lottery, didn't we, Mr. Doe-eyes?"

"No we have unattached earlobes. We didn't miss all of the genetic lottery." Gabe said. "Genetic normalcy would be to boring, anyway. Everyone would look basically exactly the same."

"Yes, but because we all look different is the reason that people are discriminated against and made fun of. You're such an optimist Gabe, and you don't even know it." Lily said.

"I'm not an optimist, I'm a idealist." Gabe said. "The discrimination goes in cycles though. Everyone has been put down some point in history."

"But if everyone looked the same, appearance-wise, there would be nothing to discriminate against. That means you would have to discriminate against personality, which means you would have to get to know that person to be able to discriminate against them. Hopefully if you get to know them, then you wouldn't do that." Lily said. "The only other thing is beliefs, and there are enough people to kick the ass of someone who discriminates against that."

"Clothing, size, height, age." Gabe said. "There would still be physical features for people to discriminate against. You sound more optimist than me."

"Yes, and that would also be a cause. But many people are discriminated against for hair color and eye color and skin color. We eliminate differences in those and POOF alot of is gone. However that would take money, time, skill, experience, trust, human test subjects, a place to experiment. All of which we don't have." Lily said. "So the world is crap and we can't change it."

"I retract the optimist statement." Gabe said. "The world is annilating itself, but as long as nature goes with it, and not humans. I'm okay with that."

"Nature dies, we die." Lily said. "We can't exist without it, given that it grows our food, gives us shelter, and provides with a place to live. Ergo, nature goes, we go."

"Then we will find alternative ways to feed ourselves." Gabe said. "I'm sure we could find something, grow plants in factories, use fake things instead of natural."

"The reason we're still able to survive is because alot of our trash is biodegradable. If we begin using fake things, they may not be biodegradable. That means that they won't decompose and will sit upon our earth for years to come." Lily said.

"We could recycle the things that aren't biodegradable. If there is no more plants or animals to break it down what would be the point of biodegradable things?" Gabe said.

"Trees filter CO2 and make O2, which makes them vital to our survival. You're the science geek, you should know this." Lily said. "We need trees."
