DaRk AnGel : Why Home : July 2007 : Sodas in a Milk Carton

Sodas in a Milk Carton

It's sure been awhile, hasn't it? Whets changed? Whets stayed the same?

My gun collection is grown. My heart still has revenge in it. Life slides by although I am awake more than I am asleep these days. So things get accomplished.

More and more it has been bothering me what the fate of your great great great great grandchildren will be. I have been finding myself thinking about what most others don't. This is one of those that worry me now.

The Greenhouse Effect. If you want to see the true repercussions of it, look up and read about mercury. It is a dead planet. By dead I mean nothing moves, there is no atmosphere and it actually revolves opposite of the other planets. Scientists think this is due to a large asteroid or comment hitting it so hard that it reversed Mercury's spin. One side is -30 and the other is 800 degrees. Ice can be found in craters on the top, but there is no water on the planet???
Mercury is riddled with craters of the comets, meteors, and asteroids that hit it. Its day is like 180 of ours. It is lifeless and barren and all of the ground is what you would find next to a volcano.

Earth has been hit by asteroids and meteors before. There are craters all over the planet. Some we do not even know of because the wind and dust has a way of repairing things. And there are estimated billions of things out there heading our way. Some of them the size of Texas. One as small as 6 miles across would destroy the planet forever. All life would cease. At the impact site would be the merciful deaths. Those far off would never see the sun again. Plants would die, then the animals and finally man. We have agencies that watch for these things. They say we had a close call a year ago when one came within 26000 miles of us. And they acknowledge that we really have no way, regardless of what the movies portray, of defending ourselves. We will be hit again. Just when and how large is the question. The effects of one 6 miles across has more power than every nuclear weapon that we have being exploded all at once in one spot.
Oh and back to Mercury for a second. You do realize of course that earth is constantly moving towards the sun. Each year we get closer.

Where did all the dinosaurs go? A giant asteroid finished them off. Geologists can see it in the earth's levels when they dig down.

Ok those are just some of the acts of god that can cause the end.

Man is working pretty damn hard at destroying it as well. The pollution, the fact that the ice at the poles is rapidly melting, the rising heat of the summers in most areas, the droughts. Would you not think you could walk a little more? That 2 liter coke bottle will outlast most people's lives at the landfill.

Americans are one of the very few countries that disrespect their elders. Most are warehoused or too much of an interference with all of our personal interests and activities. So we pay the thousands a month and see them at thanksgiving and Christmas and feel we did the right thing. I am glad I do not have kids, if they did that to me it would hurt me more than the isolation I live through now. Most other cultures respect the wisdom of the elders and love their parents. Maybe it is Americans do not know how to love. Billions are spent yearly on personal sites, ads, and matchmaker services for people that are going for their third fourth or fifth marriages. We are such a disposable society. We dispose of soda bottles, parents, and of love. Maybe it is simply our laziness. Love as does anything of value takes work.

Then the children. When I was in high school I had many a fight. Not once was a gun or knave even thought of or worried about - we did it hand to hand. And by doing so, damage was rarely serious or fatal. Today every poor kid in America seems to own a gun. Our jails are packed. Talk about the epitome of laziness. It seems that more and more people believe they are entitled to what others have earned. When they are 40 will the world be that of Mad Max's? Where are the parents? Why are our 13 and 12 year olds killing each other?

Oh well, nothing I can do about it. And I am tired so I guess I'll go to bed. I mean that is the attitude of Americans. If it does not impact me directly, I'll ignore it.

Is this the end of the world? No not in our lifetimes or even the next few generations lifetimes. But scientists worry that by the time we really wake up and want to save the world and our future generation's world that the time may have passed. That it will be too late.

Everything cannot continue to be everyone else's problem all of the time. And sadly it is not that we procrastinate, we just refuse to take blame all the while demanding something new to make life easier so that we can have more time for our own personal interests or just laying around watching TV.

Who am I to speak? Well I am working at all of the problems. Any little thing helps. I will not go into the whats and hows here of my endeavors. It would be too easy for you. Google "saving energy" or "Saving Nature" or "Saving animals from going extinct" or "saving the world" and there are tons of little things one can do.

Even things we have to do...

Like changing the bulb.

Changing the type of bulb, of one bulb in the house that we use in our lives can result in amazing savings. Are they really too expensive? Nope.. But you read up on the savings to your wallet and to the earth.
