they don't require belief in them to be true.

(86,008 posts)3. I see the destruction as self-centered indifference
...coupled with corporate corruption which has plagued us since the beginning of the industrial age. It's a lack of control that we have over governments and industry which has allowed these destructive causes of pollution to escalate. That's our generational challenge; on this planet, or on our next one.
when I get to leave this planet, I don't think I want to come back unless most of the humans are gone. We have been under the boot of the monied for too long and something has to give, and it ain't the 99% who need to give any more.

The Everglades is an amazing ecosystem.

Thanks for that, bigtree.
