Our Shermanistic Way of Life … The Daily Shock And Awe
My emotions are in torment. I see so clearly the spiraling tunnel this ‘accident’ has created. Yet people who are not directly affected sit by as though nothing has happened. One more ‘disaster’ among many. But this isn’t just one more ‘disaster’. This isn’t something to sit quietly by and watch objectively as it happens. Because this is irreversible… and becomes more so every day.
The circle of life is highly sensitive… and very real and very serious. BP and every individual who has let every ball drop in this situation is personally responsible for how life from this point on will be changed.
It’s too far gone now to just be a matter of ‘clean up’. We passed that point weeks ago. And maybe I’m an overly sensitive, emotional fool… but it’s breaking my heart every day to watch. So quit watching, you say? No. I refuse to be one of those closing their eyes in ignorance.
It never had to be this way. I listened for years as righteous consumerists raised hell that we should open drilling off the coast as well as multiple protected areas. They screamed it was the only way to break our dependency on foreign oil.
But now what?
The answer has NEVER been in breaking our dependency on the ‘foreign’ aspect. The answer is in breaking our constant, never ending consumerist dependency on the mass amounts of oil this country consumes every day, week, year.
I know I have said this before. I will continue to say it. I will scream it over and over and over if need be.
Please tell me WHEN people are finally going to take this seriously? What is it going to take? Is this how the past two generations of mankind hoped to be memorialized in the history books? Because I can promise you now… all the advances and technology that could have been our legacy will be nothing to the wasteland we are leaving behind for future generations. If there ARE future generations even around to read the history once my generation is through with its Shermanistic way of living.

It will take a cataclysmic event that significantly reduces our population for people to take it seriously. Until then, it’ll always be some nutter going off on the TV or Radio or Blog about something or other, and the next episode of American/Pop/Australian/Canadian/etc Idol will come on and they’ll forget all about it. because thinking is hard. There are people out there that are aware of the potentiality (and lets be honest, however likely we might think it is, it’s still just a potential at this point), but when we point at things and try and raise awareness, we’re drowned out by the bread and circuses. It’s quite annoying watching things degrade and not being able to do anything about it, but preparations can be made for the outcome.
Preparations for an outcome which will not occur in my lifetime? How do I prepare my children? My grandchildren? And you know as well as I do that the ‘powers that be’ will manage to publish/create some scientific proof(s) dissuading the people from believing that any eventuality had ANYTHING to do with the (current) current events.
Remember, people. Always remember. Pass along your experience and your knowledge. It is SO important.
