Is it possible it'll all bond now and produce sense? The relentless sweltering summer heat, heavy on 60 % of the nation. The towns ravaged by monster tornadoes. The winters with extraordinary snow that gets to be raging runoffs; the droughts and floods that affect our food production. Is there a one who can seriously deny java prices? Seriously, I want a subscriber base. If so, I don't believe they paid attention as a kid or possibly they may be repressing their memories, since it is certainly not how I remember it.
If the science doesn't cause you to believe surely the chaos is convincing. And even if all one has time for is work and sleep, regarding the price of food, energy, insurance, increasing? That's a reality. The two inches in 30-minute rainstorms, which we've had locally, produce lightening and wind that burns down houses and takes down our most stately shade trees. Does it seem sensible when the tree hits the car or house, or if you have no longer shade to permit the children to stay in the yard plus they receive third degree burns from your playground slide? I don't understand that. The insect infected, downed and logged trees no more absorb the carbon when they did, but they may be just trees and you could crank up air conditioning and also be inside. This is America why is this so? Your individual rights have been in the constitution and also by God that has comfort.
The shattering fact to me is that individuals have no desire for what makes sense and no curiosity about the truth; or should I say so lots of people are so cock-sure they know the reality. This is truth quite separate from education or investigation and sometimes wrapped up inside the 'money equals brains' mentality. This view was beautifully illustrated by certainly one of my daughter's college friends within his summation of his side of the political discussion with'.'if you're so smart, why can't you be rich'?
There is a whole generation of entitled individuals, fattened on jobs that earned big money despite no knowledge and little effort, aside from socialibility and staying in the right place for the right time, Despite producing nothing and consuming with abandon these people aren't contrite, they can be bitter. They believe the masai have a right for the continuation with this money, a directly to spend and make use of resources and they also 'conger up' a political view that supports their directly to easy money, regardless of snow globe economy fantasy that has been created for it to occur, and whatever it means in the future. They believe the economy can and may expand forever.
Cars will be more important compared to highways they drive on, and houses will be more important as opposed to neighborhoods they stand it. Taxes represent to those people a go to take 'hard' earned money, they being apparently uneducated to where roads and schools along with the virtual order with their civilization emanates from. Lack of taxes cracks the veneer of prosperity as visibly as rust and pot holes, so that as invisibly as children who can't or won't read, or make arithmetic calculations not to say know or vote their interests. It's a license. not an education had to be a realtor or perhaps a car salesman.
A selfish, individual over society, disguised as individual over government, attitude can certainly make the world a hard, polluted and unholy destination to live.
And that's virtually where we're. Is it possible because of it to add up?
The car- ahh- the vehicle. The position the poor can be shown middle class along with the middle class can look wealthy. You can drive your financial statement across the street. The car will be the coarse, indelible concise explaination status. Small cars are achievable immigrants or teenage drivers or socialists. Cars are deemed to desire comfort no matter what. They must control of the mountain passes and spare the youngsters the embarrassment old. For these cars we've the to cheap gas. No one can make us escape our cars and walk.
Our public lands aren't nearly experiencing untrammeled beauty and wildlife the lands should also be open to the internal combustion contrivance around. Owning and driving a vehicle, a snowmobile, a4- wheeler a jet ski, is incorporated in the bill of rights. Somewhere missing may be the bill of responsibilities. Also missing is an curiosity about what is sensible, sustainable. I guess the question to your masters on the universe the 2% who may have corralled 60% of all money is. If you're so rich, why can't you be smart?
What is missing is an effective sports analogy to go into detail the material inequity. It's such as the middle of your football game, , they switched to hockey. Not only do you lack skates there isn't any room for you personally on the team. The game went from 11 to players. Only the 6 players are financed with hockey rink and gear to the game And the sport is outside of town. You're odd man out.
But the rich were smart enough to rig the sport to gain the treasure, they have got fowled the nest for their own reasons as well as us which is everyone's most immediate problem. You can't eat, drink or breath money. Some of that ozone that drifts around Pinedale Wyoming may just make it to Dick Cheney's house in Jackson. The banker using website the home in La Jolla has become bombarded with radiation from Fukishima and it has bought a house which is to be underwater, literally, in very few years. He can turn to Florida but his seafood is going to be contaminated with oil and dispersants. It's too hot to get outside so from his air-conditioned family room he can watch dead baby dolphins wash up within the beach. Oil and gas pipelines, scoured by river debris, break and ruin the fly fishing for your natural gas 'wild-catter' that fought every proposed beautiful, water and pipe line regulation, and flaunted the others, for making his fortune.
It reminds me from the Ingmar Bergman film, 'The Seventh Seal', which takes place in Europe in the plague. In a shot to steer clear of the Black Death the nobility of Europe retreat to barricade themselves within their castles. The rats as well as their fleas were ready and looking forward to them. Bergman's survivors were roaming gypsies that prevent the plague since they can be mobile and free'but naturally, equally ignorant on the cause on the death as being the nobles.
Ignorance, eventhough it has it's bliss, gets one nowhere in this world. The meek may yet inherit our planet, however they may not would like to. The mainstream media, shows us people starving in Somalia, shows us the tornados, the oil spills, the floods, the nuclear power plant meltdowns, although not the people still in tents or trailers, not the bottom shrimp catches it shows the catastrophe, yet not the results. Sometimes the outcome are not even measured like Fukishima. Have we heard about the radiation that drifted using the jet stream straight to your West coast and on to get caught by my own, personal west side from the Rockies; radiation that insinuates itself into every living thing. Sometimes the photo just fades from view like Joplin or Detroit or New Orleans or Minot. There are no patterns here it suggests; just a silly streak of bad luck; without the need of effect, no cause; No our planets atmosphere, nor insufficient that' anti-capitalist regulation'. No recognition of corporate management of environmental laws which could safe guard the resources we have to live; no if you know 'if you poison the planet earth the world will poison you'. Will a tree must drop with your head because of it to 'hit home'?
All of us ought to come to grips with your excessive, entitled consumption; The most complete blinders to the present are for the Eastern seaboard, This area was fortunate to obtain its oil and gas and coal extracted west in the Mississippi, for that most part, until the propane discovery in the area supplying the h2o to New York City. It may be exciting to discover the extraction method know as fracking create a blip about the environmental radar. Otherwise the catastrophes of flood, or drought or tornado or hurricane are outside of sight and soon from mind until they may be on your head. Hopefully the very fact of local aging nuclear power plants, with on-site waste storage, are pause for thought after Fukishima along with the floods in Missouri I'm sure the East Coast's time may come as there are ultimately no winners in the climatic change lottery.
I am particularly thinking about one fantasy that we now have been managing, and wishing effortlessly our heart were true. Cheap clean energy. There is not any such thing it doesn't matter how many ads the thing is that on TV. There is clean energy, yet it is not cheap. Wind and solar require capital investment in the beginning. Our government employed to invest in these kinds of thing, and to being crippled by politics, were crippled by war debt and our stupid decision to bail out rich folks. There is affordable[ish] souped up that is cheap in the pump, in comparison to your rest of the earth. This we've got subsidized through regulations, cheap leases, nonexistent environmental regulation; it's becoming very costly due to its effect on climatic change but, maddeningly, there's no mental connection to those 'externalized' costs we're also beginning to give the inability might cost us our very lives. The propane industry truly does offer a less carbon emitting fuel, but producers refuse for making any efforts to relieve it's carbon footprint setting it up OUT in the ground. It flares and fracks anytime, allowing methane and open pits of benzene along with volatile organic compounds to off-gas into air. A drilling site can be an ugly, smelly dangerous place. They don't call the employees rough necks for nothing. And keep in mind that we will live to regret the a lot of gallons of water that may be rendered unusable by easy use in drilling. Don't expect anything sensible from your extraction industry, or politicians. I could embark on but why bother Get ready for more chaos.
When a tree falls within the forest and there's no one there to see it, does it create a sound?
When a tree falls on your own head, does anybody wonder why?
