I'd rather see the whole of human population reduced to Thumbelina's scale, 
so that we can finally reduce our footprint on the planet.  Gimme that magic 
button now and I'll push it.

Maybe the new constraints of what we could do in such small bodies in such a 
big world, would slow our "progress" long enough for us to grow wise enough 
to end the pattern of mindless and heartless parasitic leeching of the 
earth's resources. Give the big globe a break!

I've had vague bad dreams of the collapse of civilisation all my life. 
Somehow, that's not enough incentive to make me learn more concrete survival 
techniques.
So I can imagine how easy it is for those who refuse to see the patterns, to 
go back to sleep and dream the utopia that never was.
