Myth: we have to save the earth. Frankly, the earth doesn't need to be saved. Nature doesn't give a hoot if human beings are here or not. The planet has survived cataclysmic and catastrophic changes for millions upon millions of years. Over that time, it is widely believed, 99 percent of all species have come and gone while the planet has remained. Saving the environment is really about saving our environment - making it safe for ourselves, our children, and the world as we know it. If more people saw the issue as one of saving themselves, we would probably see increased motivation and commitment to actually do so.

I find it ridiculous to comment on your blog posts .
All i can manage is to say -
i agree , i agree completely ,
brilliantly put , if you get where i am going on .
But yes brilliantly put .
And why do you find it ridiculous to comment?
That makes sense....... People care about themselves, so make them worry about their own passing and they'll do anything to prolong it.
I thought i'd made it clear.
I find it ridiculous to repeat it again .
Its because all i end up saying is - i agree .
I like to comment on people posts who have a different opinion on things .
Well, then don't comment. Don't even read. I find it ridiculous that you should comment only to say that you find it ridiculous to do so. I do not write for others or to be commented upon.
*smiles sweetly*
ok fine.
