Lemmings, thats really the only word that I can come up with that accurately portrays the overall feeling. I honestly dont know why people are not rioting in the streets. Corporations are killing us all. One way or another this now, human entity, Corporation, controls our lives and destroys our world. Its like a plot to a bad scifi movie. The masses run and hide in fear as the Corpor-umans destroy, rape , pillage and defile their way until they run out of planet, then..wellwhat?
The Wall St Copor-umans took out Wall St. by ripping off and lying to hard working people and stepping on their corpses in the race to line their bank accounts. Driven by the desire to succeed by collecting "wealth", never stopping to consider that that outlook is flawed and contributes to the overall demise of the species.
BP, Halliburton, Transocean, are destroying the Gulf of Mexico, the coastal communities of most of the Gulf States, the entire economies of small towns and Counties, wiping out pristine beaches, coral reefs, seabeds, grass, mangroves, birds, turtles, dolphin, grouper, sea bass.you get the idea. BP has created or participated in the death of a significant portion of this planet. 20% of the Gulf of Mexico, is closed to fishing. You can read that as Polluted. Oil has begun to wash upon the shores in mass quantities. Reporters are being denied access to video these areas, being told that its BPs rules. What? BPs rules? Since when did BP make the rules that govern access to the sovereign land of the United States? This really happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReSMDCnI90U The journalist was threatened with arrest. Wait until you see what they tried to stop her from seeing!
Oil is turning up everywhere, huge clouds of it are suspended thousands of feet below the surface of the Gulf, floating clouds of death in the Gulf, slowly being drawn into the loop current and soon to be spread through all the worlds oceans. This will further contribute to the demise of the only planet we have.
We wipe out the rainforest, killing the planets ability to create oxygen, which most of you recall we need, right? We dont know how to make enough of it ourselves to sustain life after we kill all the trees that are currently doing that job for us. We dont have an Automatic Oxygen Maker available from a late night hawker screaming his imported, slave made products into our bedrooms. In other words, when there are no longer enough trees standing to produce the oxygen we need, we all die. Perhaps youve noticed the alarming increase in child asthma over the years. Perhaps its because the air we breathe is changing faster than our bodies can adapt.
It has to stop. It just has to or we may as all just lay down and die. A meaningful existence has to include contributing to the propagation of the species, or it loses any perceived meaning when the species perishes. Our current outlook and attitude is ameans to The End not an end. The focus needs to be on learning, using, implementing, demanding that those that can, do for our future not for their bank accounts. Not for our children, not for our grand children, but for the human race as a species.
The dinosaurs lived a long long time on this planet. They died off through no fault of their own. They got hit by a rock. Cant really place blame on them. But in our case, we profess knowledge, wisdom, even profess to a certain Manifest Destiny, but world wide consider ourselves to be smarter than dinosaurs but we actively seek to bring about our own demise as a species and form of life. Perhaps as some suggest, the only form of life. Perhapswe now know why. Were just too stupid to live.
Long live the dinosaurs, soon to become THE most success life form this planet has ever seen.
