Re: TABLE OF STRATEGIES sums it up nicely n/m

Just so you know, V, it's not that I find you or what you said unpopular. It's that I do not agree with how I understand the point is you are making - that the planet is not able to sustain all it's inhabitants. Then again, I reserve the right to have misunderstood the point you made :)

To me it seems more a matter that the self-appointed kings/controllers of our planet are content to make it appear as though the planet does not have enough resources - such as food / water / shelter, to sustain all it's inhabitants given their current rate of increase.... all the while they horde as many precious resources unto themselves that they can conceibably horede. Controllers doing what they do best - control resources, make it easy for the controlled to get sucked into the notion that the world is rapidly running out of resources due to all these dang increasing numbers of controlled humans. It's also difficult to imagine we're running out of essential resources when so much waste is occuring in manufacturing and refining natural resources into commercial ones. Like it or not, we humans are considered resources too and are therefore liable to be controlled as the controllers see fit, regardless of where the balance really lies with respect to their being enough food/water/shelter to go around for everyone, or not. In the mean time, people are still somewhat free to plant trees instead of planning which forrest to mow down next..... does this make me a treehugger? ;)

Stop diddling with the planet, stop diddling with it's resources - human and otherwise, then perhaps we may have a genuine opportunity to begin the task of tryign to honestly and accurately assess whether or not the planet can sustain all it's inhabitants. Tweet
