[quote:Esoteric Morgan:MV8yMDk1MTQ5XzM1MjgwODU0XzhDRUVFMkUx] Science continues to apply their erroneously self-sustaining long-term 'solutions' to create what they hailed as 'better' models for modern living. What we've truly gotten is bee extinction, soil depletion and genetic tom-foolery...all poised to annihilate food production somewhere down the road. Then there's pollution. Nuclear and petroleum is just a part of the whole. The pollution of industry, into waterways, aquifers, oceans, and, as with Fukushima, the very air we breathe. Gone are the days to happily walk in rain. One would think that once it was found that people can set their water on fire, [i]SOMEONE[/i] would put an end to fracking and other environmental no-no's...but, the system seems to be immune to exposure, bad-press and protest movements. This immunity appears to extend to ALL OTHER known problem-industries and practices in our so-called civilized world. =========== Okay, enough soap-boxing. Mr. Werner has made important points, but, industry has devised ways to shut-down even the loudest of roars. IMHO, that's [i]REALLY WHY[/i] Earth is Fu**ed. Science is out-of-control, and, under-the-control of all the wrong people. Good thread......:cool2: [/quote]

"Brad Werner has a simple question: Is the Earth fucked? He also has a remarkably complicated methodology yielding a very simple answer: yes, unless people start a serious global rebellion."

I, for one, applaud this man for at least having the guts to say what he feels. Very refreshing indeed!
Peace.
