We have all had our due share of warnings, research, refutations and eye witness to the destruction of life on Earth. Why do we feel the need to say "life as we know it". Is it because our lives are so short? Written historic accounts of the diversity of life and scientific eyes that see far into the past show many rises and falls of life.

In our lifetime, if you are over 40, we have seen the Cod fish die off by 96%, the frogs die off by 98%, the tiger die by 99% and virtually every species die off from over harvesting, habitat loss and pollutant linked disease.

By small steps of using the cheaper short cut and by huge slashes, burning and exploding the Earth with simple and nuclear fires.
Each short cut served a personal greed of someone wishing for a better life. A better life soon will no longer be maintained by anyone save for a few Edens which will eventually be attacked from within and without.

It will not take a tsunami to release all the deadly radiation from every nuclear plant in the world, it will only take famine and disease. So what do we do in the meantime? Recycle?

I remember a mobster named Anthoney Gingello who was taken to the hospital after his car exploded. He asked "Why aren't you doing anything? The nurse told him that the explosion had broken every tiny capillary in his body and there was no turneket in the world that could stop the bleeding.

With every tiny stream, every giant river and nearly all the ground water broken is some way, the Earth is bleeding to death and there is little that mankind can do. Cetainly not the super wealthy. There is no Corporationwho see a profit in trying to save the world with a healthy profit margin. Only the meek multitudes have a chance, but they are disaudied, deluded and disenfranchised by those who blindly only want a status quo.

Hope will live on in small tribes or among mountain people not in the path of deadly jet streams. For the rest of us shall we party to the grave? Damn straight, legalize every damn drug, pray all day, drink alcohol instead of water, entertain yourself to death, because the short cuts you traded the Earth for, have all come due. Yahoo.

Party like nothing is up to you.
