I heard someone refer to the BP Gulf oil spill today as an "American Chernobyl" which I think is an apt comparison given the scope. I sure hope this injects some steroids to finally getting off oil. Our oil addiction is like a combination of doing heroin while playing Russian roulette. Let's use natural gas as the transition fuel to totally green, clean, alternative energy as it is the cleanest fossil fuel. No more dirty energy!! Our Earth and thus, WE, can't take it any longer. It's killing us all.
We need to get back to our roots and return to the ways of our Pagan ancestors who were reliant upon nature to a greater degree than now. They knew that to damage Mother Earth was to damage themselves and risk their own destruction but because of technology we've been lulled into believing that somehow we don't need to worry about nature any longer. We sure like to label our ancestors as ignorantly superstitious but their way of living served us well up until the industrial revolution when we began destroying nature in the pursuit of materialism.
We sometimes think that our ancestors lived during a bleak time but their lack of possessions seemed to serve them better than all of our toys do. We have all kinds of gadgets, money and status but without a planet to live on it's all just literally shiny trash. They knew that not all that glitters is gold and they were on to something because when you really absorb nature you begin to see it as pretty damn cool.
It's offers better visuals than any computer game as well as having just as good precious art as the best museums. The neighbors (animals) are more exciting and unique than those at the best cocktail party. And the best part is that if we protect it--all that beauty, wonder, heritage, art and richness is free. As a final note, check out this ironic BP commercial about how much they care about the environment:~The Green Man has Spoken~
