Stop The Madness,Just Say Whoah!

The biggest threat to the environment is our own mindset. With catch phrases like "multi-tasking" and "time is money", is there little doubt that industrialism has seeded itself into the very marrow of our bones? Are we so self serving as to render ourselves and our posterity moot in the wake of our own greed?

That's the poor man's point of view. I suppose if you were wealthy and powerful you could easily promote genocide of the world's poor, sick, elderly, or simply non-similar people, and view that as a method of sound environmental practice. You know, drop some bombs here and there, deplete resources, populations. That would work too, but I don't think another arms race would be good for the environment either.

You see at one point "civilization" was measured by the distance that you placed between yourself and the elements. Nature was the bad guy, with heathens, savages, even hillbillies and country bumpkins, ( today we have rednecks what do you think of that!). But I stray. There was disease, violence, theft, war, storms, raping, pillaging and plundering, much as we have today. Heated homes and indoor plumbing are a real plus granted, but that's little progress in the field of "civilization". At some point I would think the word "civility" might come into play, as in being civil to each other. Being civil, and considerate to our posterity.

Coyotes control their birthrate depending on the available resources. We need to change our mindset.
