Before this turns into a Quasimodo Answering Negotiations Towards Antagonistic Suitors thread, it seems weird to me that Dugan is evoking such a debate.
But I digress, a rant is about to start.
When debate about the environment starts it's not really a debate about the environment.
It's a debate about different personalities.
Both sides have scientific 'proof' that it exists, or doesn't, so it comes down to ones own personality to what they believe to be true.
Before I go further I will say that personally when I see shit going on that is destructive of the earth I see it the same way as someone driving a drill bit into my bones without anaesthetic. On the same token, I am a hypocrite because I am no where near being totally clean, I start a car every day and leak emissions into the air.
Personality traits: I must be a self loathing, hate mongering, dual personality, mutha-fekka. Either that, or just a clown in a zoo looking for a circus.
I find that people who believe in climate change generally have a caring side to what is really going on with others, and in turn to the rest of the world.
While people who do not believe in climate change generally care more about their immediate family and inner world, which I dont think should be looked down upon, it is who they are.
This forum alone shows that not too many people are truly alike, unless you are one of Stakes personalities, they seem to be similar.. somewhat.
In 100 years people may be looking at the Mad Max films saying:
"If they knew this was going to happen, why didn't they do more to stop, or prevent it???"
or they may be saying,
"Geez they were a depressive bunch in the olden days with their bleak view on life"
Little rant over. I'm going back to bed. I always sleep four hours, get up for a while, then try to get the next round of snooze in. Apparently this is how they lived in the Renaissance Era, and also in the Neanderthal Era.
I guess I'm a Renaissance Neanderthal New Romantic.
PS: I have not been drinking. Just feeling reflective after a powerful fool moon week where sleep was not optional.
PPS: Anyone who wants to come down to Vintage Cellars in Lilli PIlli and share in some fine beer, I have a taste testing going on today from 4-7 in the store.
Good Nighty/Morning
Ciao.
Edit: I've been told that Scummo apparently drops into that Vintage Cellars. What the feck am I going to say to that kent??? Time will tell, or not.
