Yes, our governments and business community and financiers have sold themselves to an insane religion (or philosophy)...one that sees humanity and humanity's concerns as separate from Nature. This is sheer lunacy, because we are in no way separate from Nature, we are one small part OF nature, and it cannot be otherwise. We either work in harmony with Nature or we eventually perish in war and misery, after having ruined just about everything else around us, and after having wiped out many other species.

The movie Avatar made a very strong point about that, and that's one of the many excellent things about that movie. It could hardly be more appropriate a lesson for our times.
