Since our rise to prosperity we have done nothing but kill off species, burn off fossil fuels, and tear down massive amounts of wilderness. I'm convinced that we fucking hate this place.
Every time I see trees being cleared for another Quiznos or another Starbucks it makes me fucking sick because there's another one just a couple miles up the road. When I read the article about edible sea life being almost gone by 2050 it made me sick because I'm sure SO MUCH of that stuff goes unused for the sake of convenience.
I blame the mindset that says, "well, if it is here now then it will always be here". I know several ultra-conservative nut jobs who actually subscribe to that line of thought concerning fossil fuels. There's an urgency to find a cleaner, safer energy that is being suppressed because of the mindset I'm talking about.
It's all just really sad. I don't want to see the kind of disrepair the Earth will be in when I'm 90.
