Man is a fool

[LucySky]

our mother, nature, did not ask for the Gulf disaster, or for any nuclear events.

we should not perpetuate what we cannot control.

the days of "Little House on the Prairie" are all we deserve...our species cannot handle anything more advanced.

1. Agree. We seem intent on "conquering" the earth, when in reality it can support

and nourish us if we just live with it in HARMONY.

[JuniperLea]

2. History shows again and again...

How nature points out the folly of men.

3. Go, Go, Godzilla!

[JuniperLea]

5. A prophetic metaphor?

I keep thinking about those films, and the swath of destruction... and wishing it was still just all about Buck Dharma's killer guitar riffs.

8. Mother nature's a harsh mistress

As far a Godzilla goes, I was just thinking that if you had tried to sell the events of the last five days as a screenplay for a disaster film (9.0 earthquake, giant tsunami, nuke plants melting down) you probably would have been laughed out of the office.

9. I think you're right...

That particular trifecta would be hard to imagine if it weren't true... no one would believe it.

4. The other day, my 12 year old niece overhead us talking about

all the recent quakes and tsunamis and said "Maybe the Earth is trying to kick us off the planet because of what we do to it."

6. On the one hand it's an interesting insight ...

... but on the other hand it's straight of "Survivor" and voting one off the island.

7. Truth from the mouths of babes...

Always makes me tear up a little.

Thanks for sharing this pearl... may she grow ever so wiser with time, and a long life to do it in.

[alsame]

12. Thank you. She's very into science and is concerned about

global warming and the environment. And last year she was outraged when a classmate told her that evolution wasn't true! Yeah, I think we've got a liberal here, lol.

11. Your neice is quite the brilliant observer.

I applaud her and she must have cool parental units as well.

10. Looks like an unrec from one or so egotists. nt

13. I pity the babies

they break my heart.
