What is it with this guy?
Does he have to smell the corpses rotting before he realises that our land has been plundered enough? How can our politicians be advocating unlimited development, population growth and the expansion of suburbia while the land is already unable to support our current needs? Will Mr Howard sell out every scrap of our environment to feed the shortfalls in his precious economy?
More importantly: Why aren't we stopping this insanity? Who will pay for our greed? What will be left for our children? If you think the shares you are buying today will secure a comfortable future for your children you may find that all you are investing in is a hand full of ashes!
It does not take a visionary to know that what we are allowing to be done to our earth is suicidal, the evidence is writen throughout history and science is constantly revealing the effects of our actions. We can no longer say that we acted in ignorance, are innocent or did not understand; that time has passed well before most of us were born . We can not deny our part in this we have known the truth of it for too long now.
Although there is considerable doubt about the acuracy of Dr. Henry Smith's translation of the famous speach made by Chief Seattle in 1854, it is a beutiful piece of writing and carries a message of truth that speaks beyond fact. Please see the link below and maybe ask yourself; how much is enough?
