Is it possible it can all get together now making sense? The relentless sweltering summer heat, heavy on 2 / 3 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 coffee? Seriously, I want a subscriber base. If so, I don't believe they paid attention as a kid or possibly they're repressing their memories, since it is certainly not the best way I remember it.
If the science doesn't cause you to be 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 2 " in 30-minute rainstorms, which we have now 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 permitting the children to be the yard and they also receive third degree burns on the playground slide? I don't do not forget that. The insect infected, downed and logged trees will no longer absorb the carbon when they did, but they may be just trees and you could crank up the environment conditioning and grow inside. This is America why not? Your individual rights have been in the constitution and also God that features comfort.
The shattering fact in my opinion is that folk have no curiosity about what makes sense and no fascination with the truth; or should I say so lots of people are so cock-sure they know the simple truth. This is truth quite outside of education or investigation and sometimes wrapped up within the 'money equals brains' mentality. This view was beautifully illustrated by considered one of my daughter's college friends in the summation of his side of an political discussion with'.'if you're so smart, why shouldn'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 going to the right place for the right time, Despite producing nothing and consuming with abandon these people are certainly not contrite, these are bitter. They believe these people have a right on the continuation on this money, a directly to spend and make use of resources and they also 'conger up' a political view that supports their to easy money, whatever the snow globe economy fantasy that had been created for it that occurs, and no matter what it means money for hard times. They believe the economy can and must expand forever.
Cars will be more important compared to the highways they drive on, and houses tend to be more important as opposed to neighborhoods they stand it. Taxes represent to the telltale people an endeavor to take 'hard' earned money, they being apparently uneducated to where roads and schools along with the virtual order of the civilization emanates from. Lack of taxes cracks the veneer of prosperity as visibly as rust and pot holes, in addition to being 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 should be a realtor or possibly a car salesman.
A selfish, individual over society, disguised as individual over government, attitude is likely to make the world a painful, polluted and unholy spot to live.
And that's just about where we're also. Is it possible correctly to sound right?
The car- ahh- the automobile. The squeeze poor can seem middle class and also the middle class can be shown wealthy. You can drive your financial statement across the street. The car could be the coarse, indelible concise explaination status. Small cars are for first time immigrants or teenage drivers or socialists. Cars are deemed to wish comfort at any cost. They must control of the mountain passes and spare the youngsters the embarrassment of aging. For these cars we've the to certainly cheap gas. No one can make us get free from our cars and walk.
Our public lands aren't almost experiencing untrammeled beauty and wildlife the lands also needs to be open to the internal combustion contrivance available. Owning and worries, a snowmobile, a4- wheeler a jet ski, is with the bill of rights. Somewhere missing could be the bill of responsibilities. Also missing is an desire for what is sensible, sustainable. I guess the question on the masters with the universe the 2% who may have corralled 60% of all money is. If you're so rich, why shouldn't you be smart?
What is missing is a great sports analogy to spell out the material inequity. It's as with the middle of the football game, , they switched to hockey. Not only do you lack skates there isn't any room available for you 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 from town. You're odd man out.
But however the rich were smart enough to rig the action to gain the treasure, they've already fowled the nest in their own business as well as us this also is everyone's most immediate problem. You can't eat, drink or breath money. Some of that ozone that drifts around Pinedale Wyoming might just make it to Dick Cheney's house in Jackson. The banker together with the home in La Jolla continues to be bombarded with radiation from Fukishima and it has bought a house which will be underwater, literally, in manufactured years. He can turn to Florida but his seafood will probably be contaminated with oil and dispersants. It's too hot for being 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 climate, water and pipe line regulation, and flaunted others, to create his fortune.
It reminds me from the Ingmar Bergman film, 'The Seventh Seal', which takes place in Europe throughout the plague. In an endeavor to stop the Black Death the nobility of Europe retreat to barricade themselves of their castles. The rats and fleas were ready and expecting them. Bergman's survivors were roaming gypsies that steer clear of the plague when you're mobile and free'but needless to say, equally ignorant from the cause in the death because 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 need to. The mainstream media, shows us people starving in Somalia, shows us the tornados, the oil spills, the floods, the nuclear power plant meltdowns, and not the people still in tents or trailers, not the bottom shrimp catches it shows the catastrophe, yet not the results. Sometimes the effects are not even measured like Fukishima. Have we heard about the radiation that drifted while using jet stream straight on the West coast and after that on being caught by my own, personal west side from the Rockies; radiation that insinuates itself into every living thing. Sometimes the image just fades from view like Joplin or Detroit or New Orleans or Minot. There are no patterns here it suggests; just a unique streak of bad luck; without the need of effect, no cause; No our planets atmosphere, nor deficiency of that' anti-capitalist regulation'. No recognition of corporate charge of environmental laws which could safe guard the resources we must live; no knowning that 'if you poison the world planet earth will poison you'. Will a tree must drop on the head for doing this to 'hit home'?
All of us must come to grips with his excessive, entitled consumption; The most complete blinders to this particular are around the Eastern seaboard, This area was fortunate to possess its oil and propane and coal extracted west from the Mississippi, for your most part, until the gas main discovery within an area supplying the mineral water to New York City. It continues to be exciting to discover the extraction method know as fracking create a blip for the environmental radar. Otherwise the catastrophes of flood, or drought or tornado or hurricane are away from sight and soon away from mind until these are on your head. Hopefully simple fact of local aging nuclear power plants, with on-site waste storage, are pause for thought after Fukishima and also the floods in Missouri I'm sure the East Coast's time can come as there are ultimately no winners in the climatic change lottery.
I am particularly considering one fantasy that we've been living alongside, and wishing with all of our heart were true. Cheap clean energy. There isn't any such thing however many ads the thing is that on TV. There is clean energy, however it is not cheap. Wind and solar require capital investment beforehand. Our government familiar with invest in these kinds of thing, but additionally to being crippled by politics, we're crippled by war debt and our stupid decision to bail out rich folks. here There is affordable[ish] energy is cheap on the pump, in comparison on the rest of the globe. This we've got subsidized through regulations, cheap leases, nonexistent environmental regulation; it's becoming expensive due to its effect on java prices but, maddeningly, there isn't a mental connection about bat roosting 'externalized' costs we're also beginning to pay for the inability might cost us our very lives. The gas main industry truly does offer a less carbon emitting fuel, but producers refuse to produce any efforts to relieve it's carbon footprint setting it up OUT with the ground. It flares and fracks when needed, allowing methane and open pits of benzene as well as other volatile organic compounds to off-gas into mid-air. A drilling site can be an ugly, smelly dangerous place. They don't call employees rough necks for nothing. And trust me we will live to regret the numerous gallons of water that is rendered unusable by utilization in drilling. Don't expect anything sensible on the extraction industry, or politicians. I could continue but why bother Get ready for more chaos.
When a tree falls within the forest and there isn't a one there to listen to it, does it generate a sound?
When a tree falls on the head, does anybody wonder why?
