(8,146 posts)and thus, i will fashion a reply for you- ONE month late! Sorry. As i said, i've become so cynical regards this civilization we are members of that its very success (see the stock markets!) are proof of our bankruptcy. The evil has become so embedded i believe there's no way out, and whether the end occurs during next 20 years, or whether it will take a century or two- are of no importance. I'm not a scientist, math expert, or in any way an authority, and my voice is just part of the cacophony you're hearing, but
a) it's all about numbers, and the numbers transcend politics
b) fascism, ie rightwing politics, is totally in control of the human race
c) there is a God, and God is a doomed, as the rest of us, are!
the 'numbers are fairly simple- one needn't be a physicist to sum them up. The earth weighs so many trillion tons, the seas weigh (?) the air weighs (?) and so on. Humanity puts 96 million tonnes carbon into atmosphere every 24 hours. That's about 36 BILLION tonnes every year....year after year. The mean temperature of atmosphere tells us how much moisture there is the the 'biosphere' including the oceans. Since 1980 (when male model reagan was put into WHouse) the drying of the atmosphere has been getting worse. Carbon in, moisture out. The planets as a living entity is getting dryer every day. eventually, someone lighting a cigarette MIGHT set the very air on fire!
Maybe, that's why they're trying to outlaw smoking(?) is it possible?
Granted this sounds ridiculous, but ferchrissake WHY did GOD put 700 or 800 billion tonnes oil into the ground in the first place? And why hasn't ANYONE ever said that maybe the oil is needed right where it was? ANSWER. Because rightwing fascism CONTROLS the info entertainment industry- including the PORN industry, which is 5 times more then Hollywood- and the oil was free!
I haven't time to discuss the 'god' part of the argument, but if YOU created humanity, i betcha YOU'D be pissed off, after all almost 1/2 of the total wealth of human race is spent on military garbage. And it's getting worse (obama is said to be soft on the enemy)
