Industrialization. Modernization. Just stupid cover up words for imperialistic exploitation and continuous production of cultural genocide. Economic and strategic efforts do not justify your actions. Just be a little bird-- pecker at the bits and pieces you want and do--all for the sake of God. Annihilation of land for private profit is MURDER. And its stiff carcass is amidst us. "Oh, Beth, now that's history and how we've gotten to be where we are today." And....?!?!?!!? Damn you, capitalism.

Abroad, we invest millions in defense-- all in the name of national security. We take great homage knowing our people are protecting the American public back home from any threat or force of ill will. We want to safeguard our people, but then what provides sustainable life to these people? The existing resources of the land....or rather the depleting resources of the land. If we are not able to defend our resources, then what's the use to defend the people who cannot live without the resources? The disparaging truth of it all is with our defense-- so astute in their willpower to destroy thousands of people as well as miles of land in the name of nuclear power and protection-- we kill the very resources that keep us alive. And by us I mean every miracle of life that exists on this planet. Amazing. The food and water of nature was given freely to keep us alive, we just couldn't quite get a grip on our appetites. The U.S. is 4% of the world's population, yet it consumes one-fourth of ALL of Earth's resources. My, my...the striking intelligence of the Western world is so alluring!
