Decay begins at the foundations.

When I first began this blog, it was about social decay and my experiences living in povertial america.  A recent roadtrip to pick up my mother reminded me of the very basis of those early writings and the dismay I have at our world today.

When we travel, we tend to drive off the beaten path.  This is to enjoy the beautiful country side and to allow us to become enthralled in the conversations we have with one another while on the road.  Too often, I will see delapidaited buildings in deserted farmland or the promise of a shiny new apartment complex or some industrial building for future benefit of society. I say rubbish to all of that.

This very farmland and the old buildings that occupy such are the very foundation upon which white america built this country.  So far wrapped up in greed we are that we fail to remember where we came from and simply contrive to chew up the resources around us to later spit out like long forgotten garbage.  What in the sam hill have we done?  So many times I hear about how the polar ice caps are melting and the Co2 levels are increasing and all those lovely pictures of children rummaging through mountains of garbage for a mere two cents to eat with. Bleach.

Have we failed to realize that, currently, this is the only planet we have and if we fail to respect that and all that it has afforded us we fail as a species?  Mother nature will find a way.  She sees what we as human beings have done to her lovely cradle she has provided and will one day seek vengance on the very ground all of us tred upon.  Have we failed to understand that we did not learn from the mistakes of the coal powered trains and the hole they sent up to the ozone layer?  Oh, sure, lets put up a few thousand coal powered electricity plants because they are "cleaner!"  CLEANER???????  What in the flip is cleaner about something that allows for the vital oxygen we need to breathe to escape our planet forever!  No wonder we are a society of asthmatics and disease ridden souls.  We are slowly killing ourselves and our children. 

Ugh.  Ok, I have become overy ticked and cannot finish this.  I will be back with more later.  Just had to vent a little.
