there are solutions out there - lots of solutions.

what it comes down to - they are not supported by big corporations. they are not marketed. they are not seen in commercials during american idol. they are not sold at walmart.

period.

end of story.

i disagree entirely with that article on almost all the main points. it advocates ignorance. i am also being visual, verbal, and feeling emotions right now as i am typing.

and that experiment - hello!!!!!!!! - that's research - action - thought. and did u buy ur computer?? are u going to eat it?

sorry for the sarcasm but ignorance is never the answear - neither is it ever bliss. suicide bombers many times come from an uneducated, agricultural society - don't think that helped them, us, or the planet any.

i won't argue that ppl should stop over consuming - and that disconnecting from our hectic flow of input more often wouldn't benefit us, but running out in the woods to subsist in a log cabin? the whole process would only start over again - since it would not be known to future generations.

and as far as species go - how many species went extinct before a human being ever existed?

what about plants - there was a time on earth when no species used photosynthesis and oxygen was not prevalent. when oxygen emitting plants starting growing on earth the abundant oxygen was toxic to some species - and they went extinct.

did they do anything about it? no - because they are plants and cannot think. our brain is all that we have to make it even possible that we can sustain the human race and the planet - and it is possible.

and if we get to the point where we can't sustain both - hopefully somebody will have THOUGHT of a way for us to go somewhere else.

the only place this leads is that we have to use our brains to find a way to function more efficiantly or leave this planet - or we'll be back to killing each other for resources - that is where blind emotion leads us - and NOWHERE ELSE.
