What is the combined effect of six billion humans on the living systems of the planet Earth? asks Dr. David Suzuki of Canada,an environmental scientist (The Scared Ballance book and documantary). If we are made up of the very elements from this Earth, and we are indeed by all accounts agreed upon depleting and polluting these elements; What is then to become of the next generation of humans who will find less resources and clean air or water to have and sustain their lives? Are we leaving the planet in worse shape than we found it, for our children's children? and if so, how much more can indeed be taken from the very makeup of the planet before it is no longer capable of sustaining all the lives of all the humans? Does anyone have a plan to stop the madd conusming ways of us now generation? Does any body care? Not with this Bush man in this White House! Not with the Far East's appetite just warming up to the Western standards! Not with the greed of this corporate based world economy! Alas! I see no hope! Unless as a whole the human race is awakened and willing to change and accept responsibility. Unless the political face of the world changes to one of caring individuals who will put the common good of all above the bottom line!
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
