Environmental Issues

[aussie]

what do you guys think of the current state of the environment? I realise its a very contentious issue to some folkes and a non event to others. Its an issue that has made george dub ya one of the top ten most hated men in this country. For the record I live in an area that would be flooded if the current trends in global warming continue. I also live in a country that has the highest incidence of skin cancers any
where. Courtesy of a growing hole in the ozone layer over antarctica.
We are attempting in this country to rectify some of the damage of the last 200yrs although its a case of too little too late. Erosion and salination are already destroying some of out best farm land. We continue to farm hard footed animals such as sheep, cattle, goats, etc. In a country that untill 200yrs ago had never seen any hard hoofed animals at all. Planting a few token tree`s here and there just wont change a thing. Its sad that I cant blame george dub ya for any of this but its all our own doing. So we have to shoulder the blame for that one our selves.
Just as we have to shoulder the blame for introduced species of flora and fauna that are ravaging this country. Feral cats in this country are wiping out native species in this country on a weekly basis. Most people around the world know of kangaroos that stand over seven feet high. At the same time most dont know they come as small as a mouse as well. How ever dont run out and learn about them because they will probably be extinct by the time you do.
Any way enough of my rant How does changes in the environment affect you? How will they impact your future ? Or wont they?

It's a sad state of affairs when one of the most powerful men in the world say's "FUCK YOU" but thats corporate America for you!
They think that they can control ecconomies and governments around the globe, by manipulating and rigging their own puppeteers
to fill in the gaps of a growing nation. They must be the most hated nationality upon this earth because of this, I for one would'nt trust them, they ridiculed the communist regim'e, take a look at Russia now it's full of crime, drug users and drug barons. So fucking much for capitalism huh?.
The U.S wants to stamp it's authority worldwide! Do we really need this from a country that has so many problems of it's own?
Just a thought!

We destroy. That's the second charactoristic that defines humans. The first is hate. I have driven by so many run down or condemned buildings I couldn't even tell you a guestimate number. And yet we tear apart the land to create more housing. We destroy our land, polute it, poison it, and then condemn it.

I hate to quote a saying that has been abused... But we are as strong as our weakest link. In the food chain and the chain of life, our link becomes weaker every day. I grew being taught that we were the at the top of the chain. But we're not. the earth worm is. Poe was right... in the end, we're worm food.

Out-out are the lights-out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.

I say Armegedon. And start over. Gee, I'm so positive today. Must be the cuz I just woke up. I get evil...

fuck us. we're fuckin' up the world on an hourly basis for our children who'll then fuck it up some more for their children. i would rather drop all pretenses and admit that we're fuckups than try to deceive ourselves in thinkin' that we're doin' our part. whatever we're doin' ain't gonna be enough. why? 'cause we're dumbfucks. period. i have no hope for the human race when it's ok for a fuckin' kid outta highschool to get paid millions for puttin' a ball through a hoop and my local pig (police officer) get's paid $28,000 a year to deal with scum and low-lifes like me on a daily basis.

Wow... Six variations of the word 'fuck'. Eh hem... We have destroyed our world, but at this point it's still livable. It's when we say 'the hell with it' that we block any chance of survival.

Did you flush after you shit? If so, you are a polluting human! Get real. Housing, health care, eating every day! This world is for us! If you think you don't add to the problem (as stated) then walk to work (if you have a job), pee where you stand, eat what happens to come by. When your idealistic ass wakes the hell up. Once again, call 1-800-AMERICA.
