Can anyone else see the bigger picture?
Society is seeking to destroy itself and mother nature is striking back from the centuries of abuse we have given her. The authorities, governments, organizations wring their hands and say "how dreadful, we must do something about this" but then turn to solve other problems and invest monies in things such as the war on terrorism. Rather then worrying about how other people see the world and their faith, how about we leave them alone and put in a genuine effort to fix the problems plaguing our Earth! In the end the economy, the different way people view religion, right and wrong and morality; matter not at all when our world is dead, drained of basic resources such as food and oxygen and most of our population lay decimated. Harsh words, and possibly dramatic. Do you honestly believe mother nature is not beginning to strike back and fix the balance? Tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes; the incidence of these things is on the rise- without giving mention to the corrupt state of our governments and the power plays there in, the decline of society and the undermining of humanities faith, whether that be the christian god, buddha or any other faith. Please, does anyone out there see my point of view? You, me, the next door neighbor? Give it 100 years and we’ll be dead so what do we really matter? Humanity is only one species on this Earth, and its only us that says we are the superior beings. The Earth is not for us alone, but for all life. Lets say damn the oil companies, damn the mining companies and all the other big companies that buy our governments and corrupt our civilization for their own ends because if we continue the way we are; your dollar isn’t going to get you a damn thing! Damn the economy and save the environment!

It’s an unfortunate thing that with all of our human evolution, and the mysteries of the human brain, we have come to hold ‘the dollar almighty’ above all else. I don’t understand it, either.
I see the earth as an organism, living and breathing, in that certain ‘upsets’ cause it to react to bring back it’s equilibrium…just as a living body does.
I complain when I read someone calling our (United States) dependence on oil an ‘addiction’. It’s not feasible for everyone to work within walking/bicycling distance from home. If I could even own a horse in the city in which I live (it’s illegal), there would be no trails for us to ride on, nowhere to tie it up at work (a hospital), and no one to care for it while I’m at work (12 hour days). That’s not an addiction, it’s become a necessity.
Things will either change, or we will push the earth so far it cannot repair itself, thus killing not only our own species but those that we have come, by virtue of our place in the food chain and our ‘intelligence’, to be responsible for providing a safe environment.
Sad.

Wow, I though I was the only one who believed this way. But I agree with you, she is striking back for all that it is worth and rightfully so.

Yeah well to bad when the dinosaurs got wiped out they didnt do the same . You know mother nature is going to do what ever she pleases at any given time if we are good or bad . I agree to hell with all the greed man has its not getting us anywhere . I would stand right next to you to take the rich and greedy down because of there selfishness but im afraid that you and i and maybe a few more would be the only ones standing there . Problem is after we accomplished that another person would be standing there ready to take there place even one that fought next to your side . No im afraid the only one who can straiten out all this insanity is God himself . That’s the big picture that im looking at .

" Can anyone else see the bigger picture? "
Yep, Armageddon, and upon that day man
and woman kind shall utter in bleeding stupidity,
and i quote, " I may not agree with mother nature
in the allocation of her long over due and well
deserved wrath upon us, but i’ll die, defending her
right to administer it " and why not? considering
we’re the ones who asked for it, in the first place . . .
