I starred and flagged. Great post. We don't always agree, but this subject is probably the single most important subject in the world today!

Most people have not and are too far gone to return to their natural state in order to stop this decline. I have fully accepted responsibility to nature and accept the consequences of MY participation in society (Society=A clever ruse to dehumanize humanity).

Screw societies consequences as society is in charge of nothing. This will be apparent very soon.


If my life goes as a consequence from nature than I accept this as payment in full for having been a former automaton. We reap what we sow.

Thanks for this compassionate thread forestlady

I would have to say the Native Americans knew how to do this... Maybe if we didn't charge in here and blast them all, putting them into reservations etc and instead learned from them we might not be in the situation we are today...




Two things on this. You really should read "Killing the White Mans Indian". Every tribe was different, some eradicating their own environments.

However, the cherokee did have a very interesting reason for their social makeup, specifically their clan based system. Their legends say that because the world has periods of cataclysm, that the only way to allow their world to continue was to spread responsibilities among several different clans. The Wolf clan, for example, were there to guard the borders. The more interesting thing in this, is that you would inherit your mothers clanship, but because everyone in your clan were as siblings, you would have to "marry" to another clan. This ensured that everyone was exposed at some degree to multiple clans and their responsibilities.

Not that this saved the cherokee from western expansion, but the sentiment is an interesting one.

DK3000, what a beautiful post and with much depth. I agree with you, we have a HUGE karmic debt to pay over what we've done to the earth and I feel the same as you. We have not been responsible stewards, for the most part. You brought tears to my eyes, thank you. Starred.

I don't really see why it's a shame. So many different and wonderful ideas have come from the pursuit of other things. Sure our creatures are in peril, but how to stop it?


Quazga, by telling Purdue to stop building those cheap... 'one way in..., one way out' developement community's like 'Lands Crossing... and give the wildlife & foreclosures a break.' huh??

Are your thoughts so calloused as to be unable to see that light travel could lead to colonizing other planets, thus relieving the critical mass of humanity on this planet?


Hmmm.. yes... but if the snake handling bibleslappers in GA would have something more to do other than... Church, QuickTrip, BS Malls or stuffing their faces at the nearest Golden Corral... Maybe your critical masses would be stimulated to do more than just populate the place with fat children.

If you can believe that we have any power to save our earth, then surely you must believe this is possible.


True..., but light travel is way off in the future... I hear Atlien's can't even light travel down the 400.

Oh, and by the way, you would be surprised how much of what you think is conscious behavior is not actually conscious at all. For a perfect example of this, read Mark Twains


Thank you, but what do you know about the Mississippi river?? Please! Atlanta people are 10 years behind the world.

So wow. For some reason I believe this is a troll, but let's just say it's not.

If you really knew as much about Atlanta as you suggest you do, you'd realize that Atlanta is not Georgia. The best thing about Atlanta, is that all the Georgians go home on the weekend. So yes, you can travel light speed down 400. I do all the time.

Also, you would understand that Georgia has a long history of the sedentary existence you mention, much longer before even the Europeans came here. Must be something to do with the climate.

Finally, if you knew so much about Atlanta, you would know it is not a place most Atlantans are from, it is a place you end up. There is no other city in the US I would rather live in. Although I'm actually from Ohio, and spent my summers in that place we know and love as Mississippi.

But I can tell by your cynicism that you don't really like people. You think they are somehow all evil for making those one way lifestyles for chickens you mentioned. Or beating monkeys to death in order to eat their brains.

And if you would happen to have read the link I posted to
What is Man? You'd might have a different take on unconsciousness. But I doubt you read the link. You were too busy reading where I was from.


And for the record, it's hard to see Atlanta being 10 years behind the world when it's a city which has one of the fastest rates of growth, and those people have to come from somewhere other than Atlanta. Perhaps you mistake Georgia with Atlanta.

Is this such a bad thing? Try looking for it from a different perspective. We are a part of life on this planet. We were created from the Earth itself just like any other animal by evolution. Whether or not we have a reason to be here, it is not our fault we are the way we are. Just like every other species on this planet, we have evolved for survivability. Remove morals, ethics and any other human emotion because in terms of life these things don't matter. Life has only 1 goal, and that is to exist and spread. It will do this by the most efficient way possible. There is no good or bad in terms of life, just existence. How are we any different from any other animal, we just exist and spread. Any other species would do the same. We say the earth was in 'balance' and that we are destroying it, but aren't we just doing what life intended us to do? Spread by the most efficient way? That may include the destruction of 1000's of species, but who are we to say this is bad? If we weren't supposed to be who we are, with highly evolved thought and creative minds, and the ability to destroy everything around us for the benefit of ourselves, then why are we here?

We are the pinnacle of evolution, life with the ability to change its own environment for better or worse. Why would life progress to this stage without it being a benefit for itself? Unless you are saying we are a curse against life, then surely we could not be products of evolution unless it wanted to destroy itself?

I don't agree with this view, its just another way to look at things. Its always good to take all perspectives into account

good post and subject forestlady-but our problems are only just beginning ,we are the demise of our own species and all other forms of life in this world and someone here says we are the pinnacle of evolution-a gnat has evolved more than humanity has.at least mother nature and her creatures know their place in the great workings of the natural order and they don't try to change the world into humanities ideal concept of what is best for us -THE HUMAN RACE-without a thought or care in the world as to what is right.
let us see what we have done right[ wrong] raped the trees off of every continent ,slaughtered species into extinction,raped the fish out of the oceans,poisoned the lands ,air, seas,plants ,animals,crops and our own selves and our children-and we are still doing it to this day and it will continue. WHAT ELSE?turned it into farmland,built super city's out of concrete and asphalt ,stored trillions and trillions of water in underground pipes that should be in the eco-systems,it is no wonder that there are global droughts taking place.it is even starting in the great u.s.a. and their governments are like all the rest in the world -ostriches with their heads buried in the sand and doing absolutely nothing. Kyoto accord ,some signed some didn't, next one didn't suit the biggest polluting nations in the world.now the world leaders have come up with a carbon tax to fix the environment -except for one little thing they have already stated that they cant do anything until 2050 if man is still alive.
And just who are these our leaders well its the rich and the oil giants and they wont spend a dime let alone lift a finger to clean up this mess that they created all in the name of money and greed.a little oil spill is one thing ,the whole world is another thing which will never be done by them as they love their money and if they could take it all with them in the end they would be buried with it rather than use it to do any thing good.the false god kings.
One last thing of note if we destroy the bees we destroy our selves as they are the little ones that pollinate our crops not us -1/3 to 1/2 the worlds bee population died off this past winter -still think were at the apex of evolution ,this is what we get for overpopulating as badly as we have -mother nature has a cure for this ,rabbits have a massive die off as do lemmings and all other species to control their populations-Humanity on the other hand has DOCTORS dedicated to making us live as long as possible so we can breed worse than rabbits, and we are now eating ourselves out of house and home,i guess we the HUMAN race decided that we knew better than god and that we are the gods when we are here -not very intelligent of us now was it.

I for one know exactly what you mean. What we fear, we kill!
Animals are in the way and fun to shoot at. We are barbarians,
still in the stone age! Sorry, I dont have much hope without
divine intervention,... basically
