Who could it be?

Could you guess who could be the responsible inhabitant of this planet:
Who has destroyed more life forms on this planet than any other inhabitant?
Who takes from the earth and never replaces what they take?
Who consumes more plant life than any other animal or insect?
Who pollutes the atmosphere ?
Who defecates in their own water supply?


Hmmm ..?
You know who.


Reminds me of the song by the Eagles - The Last Resort:

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye 

Unspoken

Being aware of just how close we are to becoming overpopulated (world) I've noticed just how little the subject of overpopulation is mentioned?
Its almost as if its a taboo subject.
Why is that?
All the ancient civilizations that have disappeared before us: perhaps now it is becoming clear just what may have happened to them? History does seem to repeat itself.
We don't seem to be capable to learn or observe; we are obsessed with greed.
Man created religion to keep the masses in check; so that those in power could manipulate the masses to their own selfish needs.
With life threatening signs staring at the church,  the likes of the Pope carry on as if nothing has changed over the centuries. Keep fornicating the catholic church enthuses. Have lots of children.  


What drivel. 
You can see them now; as the winds blow away their silly hats and robes, the tides rising, people starving - and the religious praying to their god.
Just as those ancient peoples did so many years before, except their god then may have been the sun or the moon - it didn't matter,- as there was no god. 
Their time on this world ended.
And what do we do about it?
Brush it under the carpet - quick - before anyone notices!


Where's that TV guide? Whats on TV?
Nice day.

7 Billion

Towards the end of this year, the world's population will hit 7 billion.
Before WWII it was just under 2 billion
We are now consuming more than this planet can sustain.
Estimates already put us at 1.5 planets in consumption; in other words - we are consuming beyond our limits.
And the more technically advanced we become, the more devastating the fall will be when it happens. 
We must make 2012 the year we began the turn-around:- begin educating women in all countries ( an educated woman is likely to have less children)
Make contraception free


We once lived in fear of a cold war with the threat of nuclear weapons.
Now, the future will hold battles for food & water.
The movie "The Road" may be a depressing story but it could very well be a view into the future. Or even Miller's Mad Max movies.
It seems we humans prefer to bury our collective heads in the sand and hope that it will all just go away.
But while humans continue to breed then the path we take is chosen for us.


The population level of 2 billion before WWII was perhaps at an ideal level, as the planet may have been able to sustain basic resources.
At our current level we use basic resources every 12 months that take earth 18 months to replace.
Go work it out.
