  Half Assed Solutions

  Notice that the plans only aim to slow the destruction of the rainforests, not stop it.  While I would have loved to support him because I thought he would be a big improvement for impoverished Brazilians, Lula has proven to just be another anti-environmental national leader who thinks that money and business is more important than the environment.

  Humans have destroyed most of the forests on the planet.  What's so hard to understand about trying to save ALL of what little is left?On Brazil unveils plan to slow deforestation and soy cultivation in Amazon posted 1 year, 10 months ago 2 Responses

  Vote Green

  Jeff Bingaman's and other Democratic senators' support for the mining industry is what people mean when they say they say there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans.  While that's not accurate, stuff like this shows how little meaningful difference there is.

  I have refused to vote Democratic since the jerks who run the party sabotaged George McGovern's bid for the presidency in 1972 (with the exceptions of a panic attack in 1984 trying to get rid of Reagan) and voting for Ron Dellums when I lived in Berkeley and Oakland.  Those who really care about the environment should do the same.  The Democrats will never bring about any significant change.  As Jerry Brown once said, the only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is the pace of destruction.On Senate committee considers mining reform, not all that into it posted 1 year, 10 months ago 2 Responses

  Good Bye

  So, it's OK for jerks like Freddy Backcut to call me extremist -- because my priorty is the Earth and all life on it -- but it's not OK to question the motives of a person who works for an agency that acts as an enemy of the Earth?  Guess what Dave, motives are an important aspect of a person's behavior and questioning them is completely legitimate!  That said, I'm not going to argue with a person who has authority on a website, so I guess my time on this site is at an end.

  Good bye to everyone.  With most, it's been interesting and provacative, even where we disagree.  My final words are, "Earth First!  Humans, quit acting like a cancerous tumor on the planet or get the hell off!

  Earth Is The Priority

  Cops lie all the time in undercover work.  The current administration, including Backcut's agency, does virtually nothing but lie.  Yet it's a big deal when I say that lying in order to protect ecosystems or species is an option if it actually works and doesn't create negative consequences?  That shows where your priorities are, and they're cleary not with protecting nature or the planet.
