"People was here."
Ya know, I get a shitload of flack for thinking that global warming is not that big a deal. I mean honestly, a lot of that, is just fatalism directed towards the human race. I mean it's ridiculous to think that we'll last forever just because we've got a few more advanced technological innovations than fire and butt scratching. People aren't any happier than animals and isn't that the ultimate bar by which we rate proper existence. We also haven't managed to figure out how to curb our constant expansion from taking over more and more of the world to the point that we're now concerned that the we'll over run the entire thing either with our waste or with our physical presence. Regardless, people are by no means above the finite nature of all things. Perhaps another species will come along, maybe everything will explode. Maybe the sun will shoot off an arbitrary radioactive ray or some other celestial object will catastrophically obliterate our planet. No matter what though, it makes little sense to concern ourselves with it. Al Gore will lead you to believe that it's the human experience that's suddenly causing a gigantic rock, a planet in fact, to alter the course of it's preset natural rhythmic alternation of temperatures rather than say, nature, but I think that's a political agenda like anything else. Frankly, I also love to litter. Sue me.

Littering is just being inconsiderate of the rights of those around you to pleasant aesthetics in their immediate surroundings. Why it would bring you such satisfaction deserves psychological analysis on its own...
ReplyDeleteor perhaps its all really linked.
Fair enough, the world will come to an end eventually and we are in no place to stop that if that end comes by forces out of our control. But for the time being, why not kill brighten up the skies and kill a few less defenseless ecosystems.
Have you ever been in a house where someone smoked inside with the windows shut (and god forbid the air conditioner on) for a prolonged period of time? It may be the most offensive environment one can experience. Well all the emissions you claim we don't need to control do the same number on our environment within our atmosphere- and our wetlands may as well be 1970's shag carpet with 29 years of Kools soaked into the mat. The former tenant is probably dead along with her cat. We don't all need to suffer such a fate. And I love to smoke. Litterbug.
