I read an article last night in the Sept 2008 issue of Smithsonian.
Here’s a link to the website version: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/victory-at-sea.html
It was an eye opener and worth a read. It’s largely about an area of the ocean being preserved and not fished and how the whole ecosystem is back to what it should be (or probably close). I was impressed by what one guy and small group achieved.
It’s a good example of what we need to do- To me , the Ocean is too important to Life’s balance and people need to know what it use to be like- before we changed it! Sure we can use it, but a good analogy might be the farmer who rotates his crops so that the soil is still good every year (I’m no expert but I’m sure there is a proper way). Well, the same with the Ocean- there’s no reason we can’t stop overfishing and polluting it.
I guess spending 100s of billions of dollars on 1,000 overseas military bases policing the world and giving billions to car manufacturers is more important. While we’re at it let’s print another trillion dollars or so in order that all of us can have Health Care. Why stop there? This money printing is getting real fun- I love it, I can’t stop. OOOOOBBBBBBAAAAAMMMMMAAAA- show me the MONEY!!!!! Lets’ earmark another Bill so we can print some more for the American Medical Association so they can do some more studies on “Embitterment Disorder”- I think it’s spreading real fast these days!
Where can I get my hands on one of those Money Printing Machines? I must have missed it in Economics 101.
