Rant about the world, Episode I

What is the world coming to?

Every day, more and more of the natural environment is destroyed. Our society turns a blind eye to the obvious effects our rampant activities cause. All over the globe, decisions are made that says profit is what drives the globe. The constant struggle for world powers to become more powerful consumes the very soul of our planet at an ever increasing pace. We suck oil out of the ground, gas out of the oceans, destroy millions of hectares of forest all in the name of "development". How much longer will this keep going before things come to ahead?

Humanity still has a chance, but its a slim one. There is still a thread of sanity left in the ever growing moronic mindset of our Capitalist society. Some people that view the world like me, that can at least acknowledge that we as a race are destroying everything we hold dear. On a forum i frequent although my reason for originally going there has basically faded, i made a post about an amazing technology that has recently been developed in our very country. A technology that can generate fresh water and electricity out of Sea water, in large quantities with no pollution or negative environmental effects. If anything it encouraged the growth of Sea life around it. Read more about it here. Some people on the forum accepted it for what it was. But sadly the majority threw it out. "Unproven", "unrealistic", people refused to believe. Sadly i feel this is a reflection on society as a whole. People are afraid to let go of old ways. Even when they know they are wrong, people are afraid to move on.

This makes me think of the current Australian government. It shames me to think our country was stupid enough to Vote this government in Multiple times. I hate the Howard and his cronies for many reasons but the one i will mention now is there refusal to acknowledge global warming. Honestly would it kill him to lose a couple of bucks to ensure our country is at least contributing to the future?

Sigh... enough on this topic. I'm sure i'll rage about it again in the future.
