yep i remember than commercial too all us old guys do

do i feel bad about pollution? yes
do i think that we do need alternative engergy sources? yes

with time that will change but then agian the more things change the more they stay the same. looking back throughout the history of men nothing has changed natural resources will always be need as long as mankind lives on this planet that will never change.

imagine your lives right now if there was no oil, no coal, no nothing the synthetic materials that you are using right now our lives would be very different indeed.

the world isnt perfect far from it no one will ever deny it but things can always be worse and the "treehugger" march has always been around the names change such as "naturalist" and so forth what has changed in recent years is the information age- when things happen the world knows about it in an instant.

but then agian like i said this is nothing different if youv'e read history than any yesterday of man maybe sad and it's true but never in the entire world history has mankind ever had it so easy and many of you will argue that but look at the technology that you use in everyday life- you dont hunt unless you count going to the grocery store and all those products and services are all made possible by oil and coal and other various energy sources.

everything we use and take for granted has always come at a cost and until people are willing to give up their "comfort" things will never change..


mankind has been around for a blink of an eye in the billions of years the earth has been around no one really knows how many civilizations have come before us and have perished before us.

some people say there have been 5 ages of man i really should do more reasearch on them.

look at it this way the 1st age of man could have wiped itself out and after thousands or millions of years the 2nd appeared the second one could have wiped itself out and the 3rd one appeared then came along the 4th and they wiped themselves out and after millions of years the 5th one came around which is currently us and one can argue that we are currently doing the same (this speakes to the more things change the more they stay the same) maybe mankind is truly unique and its an on going experirment til we get it right and move beyond the plantary restraints on this 3rd rock from the sun.


mans own arrogance is why there is a treehugger or naturalist movement mankind isnt nothing compared to mothernature. a supervolocano blowing like yellowstone or the "killer" asteroid mythos hitting the earth and whiping us all out what good have all your actions or non actions have accomplished.

the simple truth of it all is the earth was here before mankind and will be here long long after mankind has went the way of dodo bird.


i really wish people would put more engergy in to saving this country saving themselves than the planet because the only power any of us have is the power to change our own lives for the better ( without the expense of giving government more power and destroying peoples lives and wealth)



:p

mankind has already gone the way of the dodo... in a manner of speaking.

I think we should do some stuff about the environment but I do see your point because with all these other problems, it seems we are never going to get to that place of understanding where everyone must do their part.... and that is what it would take on a more complete level. We would be doing good to get off this rock and have a better look around if we plan to survive millions and millions of years as an evolved species.

Sometimes people bitch at the government for things that the whole population and history are responsible for. If we are going to bitch at them and expect it to do some good then we should be asking for help with the biggest concerns first... not that they will help but this whole environment argument needs to be serious and prioritized... like what if we were to make a massive litter clean up endeavor world wide and then mankind is wiped out right afterward by a cosmic event that might have been prevented if we had been paying attention.... but then on the other hand some people say "we need to worry about our own communities before we worry about space"... because that is just the way they think.

It's weird... I'm kind of an isolated and socially reserved person... and in my basic ways of doing things but i have noticed very social people who are active in their own community but have not an inkling of regard for concerns outside of what they can see... like they are not open to other people and thoughts throughout the world, but daily functionality-wise, the seem to be very receptive and considerate in dealing with others.... and then you could have someone completely anti-social in everyday life but they might be able to grasp something that is happening on a galactic level that the average person can't even phathom, but to them it's like something going on right next door. Or maybe a great understanding of certain ecosystems or species of animal and their life systems almost as if they are communicating to the point where they are sharing experiences... but they don't seem to get people at all.

Hmm... life is funny... and I went off on a tangent. Ooops.

now here is a nice music video to compliment the subject matter.

I remember that commercial very well and also remember it bringing tears to my eyes, why is that there aren't more commercials like this today, they should be all over the networks.

Great presentation Slayer.
