Thomas is right. The earth will outlast any of us, and our impact will be hardly noticeable in the grand scheme of things.
But I am living in the here and now. I am concerned with my environment, my immediate area, and the area where my children and grandchildren live. My impact on this environment is very real and of great importance to me.

The ethic of reciprocity is ignored by the most active on all sides of the discussion. One side says "We'll do whatever we damn well please because in the grand scheme we have no lasting impact" and the other side says "Everyone needs to live our way because we have an impact and you damn well better be like us or else" and on it goes.
Both sides can be a really pain where I sit. One side is busy crapping in my Post Toasties, the other side is taking my Post Toasties away. Is this how either side wants me to act towards them?Private Reply to Ken Hilving (new win) |
