The Rape of Natural Resources

Aug 15, 2006 12:30

The issues confronting us today are not just the ones that are political in nature. They are merely trivial issues if one would compare them to the clear and moreimportant issues that are staring us in the face.

Natural resources being plundered does rankle the hell out of me. It really does leave me with a very disillusioned feeling. Why on Earth do people not reralise the simple logic that if they keep raping the resources, exhausting everything thats there on this planet, they would completely turn this planet into a wasteland???

We already have seen glimpses of what kind of havoc nature can wreak upon humankind. I do not have to cite examples for it. I believe that the intelligentsia of the planet can comprehend what I am speaking of.

Its just bullshit after all, if I would say that we are doing anything for the country after all. If ever there are actions being taken....where are the funds for the renewable energy projects?? subsidies for solar energy/ other hitech equipment? Where is the darned fuel celll that was developed aeons ago? Where are the funds for the development for the sustainability of organic life forms else where in the Universe??.....No, we simply do not have any answers for these because there never has been ever a development in that direction.

Sustainable Development is just another fashionable term consigned to the a/c conference halls...thats it...I do not have any problem with the development of hitech gadgetry and the consumption of resources...I am for it..becaue it helps in the improvement in the standard of living of homo sapiens everywhere...but where I do have a problem is that whatever is being taken away is not being repalced back. We already are on an irreversible path to destruction..there is no way to mitigate the losses suffered...the only way I see that there would be a solution to this would be for all natons to rise above thier menial, parochial mindsets to unite ....pool in resources necessary which would diverted into meaningful research directed at sustenance of organic life forms elsewhere outside this planet...just as the great Carl Sagan had visualised...But alas!!! That never is the situation because we as a human race never try to rise out of our stupid, nincompoopish, parochial mindsets; we fail to see beyond today and we are only neck deep in muck...squabbling about nonsensical issues such as religion, caste and other stupid ideological crap...which would serve humankind no good.
